Nawaz Sharif hails from a family that traces its roots to Shopian in the Kashmir valley. His father, Muhammad Sharif, migrated in 1947 (during the troubled Partition) to Pakistan from Amritsar, India. After independence Muhammad Sharif established a small tin shop on a bicycle which gradually turned into what was later known as Ittefaq Group. Nawaz was a part time cricketer during his early life, and played a first class game in the 1973-74 season representing Pakistan Railways.
He married Kulsoom Nawaz, who is the grandniece of the famous Kashmiri wrestler - The Great Gama.
Nawaz Sharif was educated at Saint Anthony’s High School and Government College (Lahore), and received a law degree from Punjab University. Following his education, he entered Punjab provincial politics, joining the Punjab advisory district council.
He initially joined politics in the late 1970s when he became a member of Asghar Khan's tehrik-e-istiqlal. He was then chosen by General Zia ul Haq, one of his admirers, as a finance Minister.[5]
He became finance minister of Punjab in 1981 and also served as minister of sports. He was credited with increasing funding for sports activities and rural projects.
The Ittefaq Group saw its unprecedented rise during the time of Gen. Zia ul Haq, who promoted Nawaz Sharif to enter politics and be his right hand man in the important province of Punjab. This not only created a name for Sharif, but he was successful in etablishing the Ittefaq Group at the EXPENSE OF THE GOVT OF PAKISTAN.
Chief Minister of Punjab
Nawaz Sharif began his first term as Chief Minister of Punjab province on April 9, 1985 under the Martial Law Regime of General Zia-ul-Haq, who was his political mentor. On May 31, 1988 he was appointed caretaker Chief Minister after the dismissal of assemblies by Zia.
After 1988 I hope everybody knows well enough about his role played as it is not so old.

Nice information highly inspired by it, so it means Nawaz Sherif is Obama of Punjab, and Mr Sherif was Bill gates of Punjab. |
Salman replied on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:48 AM
Habib, I don't think that Obama or Bill gates established their groups at the EXPENSES OF GOVT OF USA :) |
Amjad replied on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 11:01 AM
Please dont compare Obama or Bllgate with Nawaz Sharif who have no brain. Due to his stupid politics PPP is ruling all over the country and he is responsible for all of these problems. This time army is also not behind him because of trouble in Fata and Swat. BTW, Nawaz is also not nationalist, presently he has sold out his steel mill in Saudi Arabia, ask him where is this amount who is in billions and why he doest not want to invest it in Pakistan if he so loves to Pakistan. |

one thing for sure that Nawaz Sharif can't come back because America don't like him...period. |
Reality replied on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 11:36 AM
Overseas wisher you have said the crux of the whole matter.....yes he cant come back unless he pledges that he would do exactly what 'they' tell him to do....be it killing his own people....but then Nawaz is not made of such stuff....No matter what you say, he is better than many politicians and atleast far better than the man running the current show. |

A religious scholar went to Zardari's place and Said, " Please do not tease the people otherwise the wrath of God will come (Urdu: Makhlooq ko mat tang karo warna Azabe-e-Illahi aaye ga)".
Zardari responded, "Dear respected, it was Musharraf who was teasing the people, humbly, I AM the Wrath of God (Urdu: Tang to Musharraf kar raha tha, Main tu Azab Hoon)". |

Mr Sherif, or Nawaz sherif or Shehbaz Sherif are as corrupt as an average Pakistani, may be bit lesser. We get leaders from ourselves. Leaders are not prophets. |

WOW... Äbu Salman.. that presedential order No: 150025 is on the spot; may be you issued it sarcastically but the fact of the matter is that there is no doubt .... if they had no fear of criticism they would have by now named most of the grave yards and cemetries after BHUTTOS in Pakistan by now. God save pakistan from the black looming shadows and vultures who are there to tear apart the national fabric to threads. |
EU replied on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 08:46 PM
Dear Loving Swedish,
First of all constitution of Pakistan bars any one for being PM for third time.
This fellow on record has demanded the from Zardari to fulfil his unconstitunal demands by executive order???
Same fellow has been responsible for murdering one army cheif of Pakistan and various extrajudicial killings.
Same fellow also tried to crash a civilian airliner boarding was another army cheif.
The same fellow upon assuming the Punjab govt. started vicitmizing his political opponents coming to the point of head on collision with the elected representatives of local bodies govt.
The list goes on of his royal attitude..
IMO, Sharif family should go back to Saudi Arabia or confine them self to raiwind.
I know he has been hiring foreigners for his personal bussiness this includes indians as well.
I know most about this family as I have worked in his steel mills as an engineer and I was kidnapped, and tortured in kotlakhpat police station just for quiting my job.
He use to have his personal military and use to torture and harras his employees.
He use to feed his political opponents to hungry dogs and burning furnances.
He jailed Zardari for 7 years without any trial and even tried to kill the man extra judicialy.
What is Mr. Zardari is another long story.
In my opinion we should have completely new cabinet and introduce reforms in system of governance. |

Zardari get the top notch by his wisdom and he proved that he is politician even his forefathers were not in the same line. he proved by his skill to rule Pakistan(the difficult country) to complete 5 years during war on west borders and even in Pakistan. we should give more chance to zardari as he proved that he is better in politics than others.It was NS mistake and he get M.Law when he was having govt in four provinces and in Fed too. Zardari is politician and he extend the tenure of Aramy chief...!
... Even Zardari govt is a curse for the illeterate ppl of PAK who will vote again for them but he has the guts to rule and will not sit outside easily... and let NS to enjoy. |
