PAKISTAN

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif on Monday said that democracy could survive only if the Supreme Court’s orders would be honoured.

Speaking to newsmen after condoling Shazia’s family here, he said the nation’s sacrifices would go waster if the verdicts made by the Supreme Court were not honoured.

The PML-N chief said that Feb 18 polls had given us an opportunity to create a new Pakistan as all the parties were united. Allah Almighty awarded us a good opportunity in the form of democracy, but it was wasted, he remarked.

The former premier stressed that democracy must look different from dictatorship.

He further said that situation would have been totally different if the points mentioned in the Charter of Democracy (CoD) were implemented. He urged the government to honour it pledges.
