VEHARI PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif on Thursday termed terrorism as the biggest problem confronting Pakistan.

Sharif expressed these views while addressing workers at the residence of MNA Begum Tehmina Daultana after expressing condolence on the demise of her husband Zahid Anwar Wahla.

Shairf said that democracy can steer the country out of troubles and put it on path to prosperity and development.

He expressed concerns that democracy was derailed time and again in the past, and termed it the main factor behind troubles confronting the country. Pakistan could have earned the status of a developed country by now had there been no derailment of democracy, said Nawaz.

He said that our country was obtained after offering numerous sacrifices, and that the lively nation of Pakistan can overcome all problems.

He said that Pakistan can emerge as a developed country by virtue of rule of law, independent judiciary, justice, merit and democracy.—APP
