The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif delivered a speech on Friday at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan.

Given that the former prime leader has just returned to the nation after a four-year absence, his speech is significant. After being granted permission to visit the British capital in 2019 on the basis of his health, he was living in self-exile in London.

Here are some highlights from his speech

1. Nawaz denied rumors that he would pursue a confrontational strategy in the run-up to the general elections by saying, “I do not want to exact revenge.”
2. He stated that “all constitutional institutions” ought to cooperate, which was significant for the institutions with which Nawaz has a troubled history.
3. – “I am talking with much restraint today so that I may not utter the words that I’m not supposed to,” Nawaz stated.
4. – The leader of the PML-N claimed that Pakistan cannot advance if it is at war with its neighbors.
5. – He recalled the “good” times that occurred when his government was in office.
6. – Nawaz made numerous allusions to his arch-enemy Imran Khan without ever mentioning him by name.
7. – He also mentioned how his mother and wife had passed away, both of whom he claimed he had lost to politics.
8. – Nawaz recited his catchphrase “Why Was My Government Ousted?”
9. – “We should not allow anyone to play with the country’s fate in the future,” he stated.
10. Nawaz stated that in order to overcome the country’s challenges, growth must go “with double speed.”
