  • PML (N) Manifesto
    Are we going to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the immensity of the task that is confronting us and let our new-born State fonder under the cruel and dastardly blows struck by our enemies? This is challenge to our very existence and if we are to survive as a nation and are to translate our dreams about Pakistan into reality, we shall have to grapple with the problems facing us with redoubled zeal and energy. (Address to Civil, Naval, Military and Air Force Offi cers of Pakistan, Karachi on October 11, 1947) Quaid Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Allama Muhammad Iqbal 3 2 A Personal Message From President PML(N) As the nation prepares to go to the polls, it is of utmost importance that we understand the enormity of the multiple challenges confronting the nation. It is also of great significance that the nation recognizes the instrumental role of Muslim League for overcoming them. It is the same League that established Pakistan under the leadership of the Quaid-e-Azam in accordance with the vision of Allama Iqbal. It is the same League which built the infrastructural and policy framework for economic development in 1990s. The same League that made Pakistan an invincible nuclear power. 3 We are all aware of the enormous damage done to the country in the past decade at the hands of authoritarian rulers and their inept and corrupt successors after 1999. Poor governance, deteriorating law and order situation, repeated breaches of sovereignty, widespread corruption, galloping inflation, unprecedented load shedding, massive unemployment and increasing poverty have left the citizens in a vicious cycle of pain and suffering.
