Raiwind, Aug 2 : PML-N leader and former premier Nawaz Sharif has said that his country won’t allow itself to become a colony of the US. He also said that President Pervez Musharraf’s shadow was soon going to vanish from the country’s horizon.

He said the country was currently facing the worst crisis in its history.

“We need co-operation from the people at this juncture. The nation had showered love on us and we would honour it,” the Daily Times quoted him as saying.

Nawaz said the flour crisis had been overcome and power shortage and inflation would soon be controlled. “We cannot be blamed for the prevailing price hike as the conspiracies of the previous government have sparked inflation,” Nawaz added. (ANI)
