Pakistani opposition leader and former prime minister here Wednesday lashed out at policies of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) led government, local media reported. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Nawaz Sharif demanded the government to honor the decisions of the Supreme Court. Nawaz said it has been the policies of the present regime that has led to the collapse of state institutions. He blamed that the PPP Government did not hold productive consultation on appointment of Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau. Sharif said that nothing was done to drain out flood water from low lying areas of Sindh. The provinces should stand together with Sindh in this hour of need, he said. He also accused the government of corruption saying he does not believe the present administration would take any credible measure to stop corruption, since it is being run by the president himself. The PML-N chief said that the president's main focus has been on saving the government rather than the country. The former Pakistani premier also asked for the implementation of the agreements that the country political parties had come up with in the All Parties Conference.
