Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has expressed hope that Pakistan can emerge from its troubles in the next two years by making painful decisions, as his party prepares to form a coalition government at the Centre.
“I believe the next 1.5 or 2 years will be difficult, but we have to stay united [during the difficult times] and face our opponents,” he stated during the parliamentary party gathering on Wednesday.
“Pakistan will come out of the difficulties in the next 1.5 to 2 years,” he said.
The three-time former prime minister stated that Pakistan is “badly injured” and that severe decisions were necessary to fix the country’s problems.
He stated that the main issue in Pakistan is inflation.
He said the upcoming government will have to provide relief to the masses by bringing down inflation, food prices and utility bills as well as stabilising local currency value against the US dollar.

The PML-N supremo also praised his younger brother and party president, Shehbaz Sharif, saying he faced enormous obstacles during his brief tenure in power.
Nawaz stated that if he had been selected to lead the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government rather than his younger brother, he would not have served his full term.
