NAWAZ SHARIF

When I became chief minister of Punjab in 1985, I got Murree Road carpeted for the first time.

We all condemn terrorism.

The sanctity of ballot should not be trampled.

Drone attacks are against the national sovereignty and a challenge for the country's autonomy and independence. Therefore, we won't tolerate these attacks in our territorial jurisdictions.

There should be some other provisions in the Constitution whereby if the Government is not functioning well, it can be dealt with. In a parliamentary democracy, this should be done only by Parliament. The prime minister should be answerable only to Parliament and it should only be Parliament that can install him or remove him.

My party was the party which was created by Mr Mohammad Ali Jinnah. He didn't create that party. But he was the main pillar of the party. Our party is a very forward-looking, progressive, democratic party.

We want to make Pakistan a safe place for every Pakistani regardless of his faith or ethnicity.

I think I have a good rapport with the American government.

Investors avoid investing in a region where some elements cause political instability by their so-called movements.

I am being penalised for serving the masses, putting the country on the right track, constructing motorways and eradicating the power outages and terrorism.

Gilani should be loyal to the country, the Constitution and law and not to Zardari alone.

Look, the people will elect the government they think best.

No force, oppression, imprisonment, jail... nothing will stop me.

I had a very good relationship with President Bill Clinton when I was prime minister.

We want to strengthen democracy.

No one can stop a mass gathering of the people.

Our armed forces have given many sacrifices to defeat terrorists and root out their hideouts. This fight will continue until all terrorists are defeated.

I will not let my family's problems become my country's problems.

I believe that God and the people of Pakistan are with me, and I hope that, somewhere, justice is still alive.

I said that we stand for strong relations with India, we stand for peaceful resolution of all our problems with India, including Kashmir.

Pakistan is keen to promote its trade with India, we want economic ties getting stronger with India. Our business community is keen to reach out to their Indian counterparts. And of course, we want to resolve the issue of Kashmir, which is a flash point in our relations.

My conscience is clean.

We must deregulate, we must provide an investment climate by giving incentives.

The people will demand answers from all the dictators and the people who have not allowed this country to function.

The Constitution has to be supreme.
