Nawaz Sharif was the Prime Minister of
Pakistan three times from 1990 to 1993, 1997 to 1999, 2013 to 2017, and
each time Nawaz Sharif was dismissed on charges of corruption and mismanagement
in government. All the cases against him from 1983 to 1999 were dismissed
under NRO by President General Pervez Musharraf, it was
necessary to build a reconciliatory theme in the political arena by
removing politically motivated cases, while some believed that the NRO allowed
Nawaz Sharif to return to Pakistan’s politics without legal consequences due to pending corruption cases. In 2013, Nawaz Sharif became the
Prime Minister for the third time. In 2018, the Panama Papers were leaked, in which
shocking revelations of money laundering in offshore banks of Nawaz Sharif and
his family came to light.
Nawaz Sharif has
faced multiple corruption allegations throughout his political career. His
involvement in the Panama Papers scandal raised serious questions about his
financial dealings and offshore assets. The leaked documents revealed his family-owned luxury apartments in London through offshore companies. Despite the
controversy, Nawaz Sharif consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the
allegations tarnished his reputation. Nawaz Sharif and his family failed to
defend themselves in the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers money laundering
case, on which the Supreme Court convicted Nawaz Sharif.
During his term
as Prime Minister, Pakistan’s economy faced challenges, in that Nawaz Sharif’s
economic policies were inadequate and failed to address key issues such as
energy shortages, inflation, and unemployment. His government implemented ineffective
reforms, leading to economic instability.
Nawaz Sharif’s
tenure witnessed severe energy shortages, resulting in frequent power outages
nationwide. The inability to address this crisis significantly impacted
citizens’ daily lives and industrial productivity. People blamed his administration
for not taking timely and decisive measures to resolve the energy shortfall.
Nawaz Sharif’s
government lacked transparency and accountability. Key institutions
responsible for oversight, such as the National Accountability Bureau, faced
challenges in pursuing corruption cases against influential politicians. People
believe that Sharif’s influence hindered effective accountability mechanisms.
Nawaz
Sharif’s confrontations with the judiciary during his term as Prime
Minister were highly publicized. Nawaz Sharif attacked the Supreme
Court by his party workers, and the court was about to rule against him. Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif used to bribe judges. He nominated judges to high courts who were
not qualified to be judges. The rule of law was lacking in Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif’s government.
His handling of
security issues, particularly the Kargil conflict with India in 1999, drew
criticism. Some argue that his government’s approach lacked strategic foresight
and jeopardized regional stability. Additionally, his foreign policy decisions
faced scrutiny. His close ties with Saudi Arabia and reluctance to take a
strong stance on issues like Kashmir and Afghanistan.
Nawaz Sharif, do
not prove yourself innocent by blaming others, he has to explain all the
above charges with evidence in the court of public opinion.
