Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Mian Nawaz Sharif
Tuesday dispelled the impression that the rejection of his
nomination papers would damage his morale, saying that he is
determined to contest elections with more courage.
In an interview with a local TV channel, Sharif said that the
rejection of his nomination papers had not caused any loss to him.
"Rather, it has unveiled the ill-intentions of the rulers," he
said.
Sharif said that the people would not accept even the positive
steps taken by President Pervez Musharraf unless the judiciary was
restored to its pre-Nov. 3 position, when emergency was
imposed.
He leveled allegations on Musharraf that he dismissed the
judiciary because he was aware that the verdict on the case of his
presidency was going to be decreed against him.
He said, "It is our responsibility to guide the nation towards
the right direction."
He said that the PML-N will introduce the true democracy in
Pakistan and there is no vested interest of the party to achieve
this goal.
Sharif described the extra-constitutional steps taken on Nov.
3as another development towards the dictatorship.
He dubbed the lifting of emergency without the reinstatement of
sacked judiciary as a mockery with the nation.
