Nawaz Sharif, the chief of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has stated that he is returning to Pakistan after "vindication" and that his party is "competent enough" to shepherd the country out of crisis, Geo TV reported. "I am returning to Pakistan after being vindicated by the grace of Almighty Allah," he told to media at Dubai airport on Saturday, before departure to Pakistan. The three-time former prime minister has returned to Pakistan after a four-year self-imposed exile in London, aiming to make a political comeback in the upcoming general elections, which are scheduled for the final week of January next year.
If elected, the former Prime Minister claims his party would be able to tackle the problems of the people.
In response to a query about the general elections, Nawaz backed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
When questioned about the January polls, Nawaz stated: “Only the Election Commission can make a better decision regarding the elections. What the Election Commission thinks is right is my preference on the elections," Geo TV reported.
He also stated that the country has a "fair" Election Commission.
The PML-N supremo feels that his party is capable of leading Pakistan out of its current dilemma. “We are competent enough to solve the country's problems,” he was quoted by Geo TV in its report.
While noting his prior sting powers, the PML-N supremo bemoaned that the country is in a far "worse situation" rather than a good one.
“The situation in Pakistan is very disturbing and that is very worrying,” he stated.
