Islamabad: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif has claimed that the real reason why he was ousted in 1999 was that he opposed the Kargil conflict with India. The three-time PM, currently seeking another term, demanded that the real reasons for his ouster in 1993 and 1999 should be disclosed to him.
"I should be told why I was ousted in 1993 and 1999. When I opposed the Kargil plan saying it should not happen... I was ousted (by Gen Pervez Musharraf). And later what I said proved right," stated Sharif.
After stating that the Kargil war was a mistake, the former PM also stated that he wished to strengthen the ties between Pakistan and its neighbours, with India as the main focus.
"We have delivered on every front. During my tenure as PM, two Indian prime ministers visited Pakistan. Modi sahab and Vajpayee sahab had come to Lahore," stated Shairf. As he demanded answers for his ousters, he added that Pakistan needs to improve its relations with India, Afghanistan and Iran.
India and Pakistan's relations have always been rocky since the time of the partition in 1947. However, Iran and Afghanistan's relations with Pakistan recently deteriorated due to the mass deportation drive conducted by the interim Pakistani government, which forced thousands of illegal immigrants and Afghan refugees to leave the country.
With Sharif’s return, the former PM has stated that he will work towards repairing the ties Islamabad has with its neighbours. He has also vowed to improve the economic status of Pakistan, which is currently the fourth biggest borrower of the International Monetary Fund.
Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan a month ago from his four-year self-exile in London, United Kingdom. Since his return, Sharif has been conducting election rallies for the upcoming elections in February 2024.
