Former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif criticizes country’s economic situation, praises India’s achievements

New Delhi: Former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is currently in exile in London, has criticized his country’s economic situation and praised India’s achievements. Sharif blamed Pakistan’s former generals and judges for the country’s economic plight, as Pakistan has been facing a crippling economic crisis for many months. In a video address to a party meeting in Lahore, Sharif questioned why Pakistan couldn’t achieve the feats India did, such as reaching the Moon and hosting the G20 summit. He also claimed that India had followed the economic reforms initiated by his government in 1990.
