00:00 Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said that he was ousted from the

00:07 government in 1999 by General Parvez Musharraf for opposing the Kargil as he thought that

00:13 it was important to have good relations with India.

00:16 The three-time prime minister questioned why he was ousted from the office of the prime

00:20 minister prematurely.

00:21 Speaking to party ticket aspirants for upcoming polls, Sharif sought an explanation for his

00:26 dismissals in 1993 and 1999, highlighting that his dissent on the Kargil plan, proven

00:33 right later, led to his ouster.

00:35 "I should be told why I was ousted in 1993 and 1999.

00:40 When I opposed the Kargil plan, saying it should not happen, I was ousted by General

00:44 Parvez Musharraf.

00:45 And later, what I said proved right," Sharif said.

00:49 The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz PMLN Supreme Leader said that on all three occasions being

00:54 the premier, he was delivering, but he was sent packing and that he did not know why.

01:00 Stressing that Pakistan needed to improve relations with India and other neighbouring

01:03 countries, he said, "We will have to improve our relations with India, Afghanistan and

01:08 Iran.

01:09 We need to make stronger relations with China."

01:11 Discussing diplomatic achievements during his tenure, Sharif pointed out that two Indian

01:16 prime ministers, Modi and Vajpayee, visited Pakistan, according to the report.

01:20 He underscored the need to strengthen relations with India.

01:22 Afghanistan, Iran and China expressing regret over Pakistan's economic lag behind its

01:27 neighbours.

01:28 In criticism of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf government led by jailed former chairman Imran

01:33 Khan, Sharif attributed economic challenges to Khan's administration and credited his

01:38 brother Shahbaz Sharif's government for stabilising the country in April 2022.

01:43 He also reiterated his demand for accountability of former military generals and judges for

01:47 ruining the country by ousting his government in 2017, saying, "Those who brought this

01:51 country to this level should be made accountable as patriotic people can't do this to their

01:56 country.

01:57 We do not want to come into power to roam around in luxury cars, but we want accountability

02:01 of those who ruined this country and made false cases against us."

02:06 A month before his return to Pakistan after four years of self-imposed exile in the UK,

02:10 Mr Sharif had hinted at bringing former Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, former ISI

02:16 head Lieutenant General Faiz Hamid and former Chief Justices of Pakistan Saqib Nisar and

02:21 Asif Saeed Khosa for their crime of ousting his government and causing economic disaster.

02:25 Mr Sharif is holding meetings daily to award party tickets for the February 8 general elections

02:31 next year.
