Shahbaz Shahbaz Shahbaz
By Rohail Butt • Jun 8th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 15 CommentsAfter eight years, seven months and twenty six days, Punjab’s eight crore people have once again got their favorite chief minister back. Shahbaz Sharif is the true tiger of the Punjab, he has proved it before, and he is all poised to do it again. Shahbaz Sharif has been in the Punjab Assembly since 1990 and he has bloomed into a iron-studded leader after becoming severe target of political victimization. He is once again the chief minister of Punjab today, as he has won 265 votes out of 297 seats in the Punjab Assembly.
His preferences are simply awesome and spot on.
1- Justice
2- Education
Shahbaz Sharif recognizes the importance of giving due privileges and importance to the lower judiciary. He was right when he quoted during his inaugural speech in the Punjab Assembly that in 1884, the salary of judges in Punjab was Rs. 4000 and in the 1997 they were merely 17000. Shahbaz intends to make lower judiciary soverign, and his first priority is to render cheap, agile and available justice to the people.
Shahbaz also wants to copy South Korean example, and he wants to enlighten the dark streets of Punjabi villages and towns with the modern education of science and technology. In his previous regime, he eliminated the ghost schools and once again he wants to alter the face of the public education in the province radically. His strive for the merit is very commendable.
Shahbaz Sharif’s intentions are beyond doubt, but he has to be very pragmatic and non-ambitious. He needs to not indulge in political victimization, and he need not to indulge in any personal vendetta. He would do a welfare work by also taking the opposition on board, and he shouldn’t take the matters for granted. He needs to take some painful decisions, and keeping is past record, he would do exactly that.
Along with the justice and education, Shahbaz needs to put whole concentration on health, law and order, agriculture, load-shedding and the other program to lift the social stature of the people. He needs to be in the whole of Punjab simultaenously, and he must look beyond Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and other big cities. He needs to be in the villages of Attock, Chakwal, Bhera, Bhakkar, Sargodha, Gujrat, Wazirabad, Sheikhupura, Hafizabad, Lodharan, Rahim Yar Khan, Rajanpur, Bahawalpur, and Sadiqabad.
Last but not least, Shahbaz Sharif should also interact with the people and leaders of other provinces in Sindh, Balochistan and NWFP. There are lots of reservations in the people of these provinces about Punjab. Shahbaz Sharif needs to dispel those reservations, and Shahbaz needs to foster the people to people interaction with the rest of the three provinces, and he needs to wash away the image of Punjab as usurper.

Nonsense
Very Sensible article.
Shahbaz Sharif should carry on with his hard work streak, which was disconnected on 12th Oct, 1999.
Shahbaz did huge service to Punjab by cracking down on the ghost schools. That really uplifted the public education system in Punjab, which is again in shambles. He should do lasting work in that regard.

If that was the case, why he and his brother decided to live in a luxurious palace in Jeddah thru a DEAL with Musharraf rather than face JUSTICE against the judiciary they are supposedly fighting for …….. Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has more respect from me for spending time in Jail and facing justice rather than flee the country thru a deal.
To make it worst, these shameless brothers keep on lying about the deal, and when the document with their signatures was made public, they started arguing about the timing instead of the existence of the deal. I believe that people of Punjab deserve better.
Complete and utter Rubbish! You have succeeded in glamorizing a common thief…
I think if the people of Punjab like him…then no harm in him being a CM! and to be frank, i dont care about the judiciary as that is all politicised and utterly baseless, however, eductaion being a priority is certainly a good move. We need a good team of politicians not just one party!
Sher aya Sher aya Sher aya
I am from Sawabi, and I wish that Shahbaz would be the CM of our province. Punjab is really lucky, and I am jealous.

Bachao, Bachao, Bachao!
Welcome Back Mr. Shahbaz Sharif. I wish you all the best. Inshallah good time will come back. Poor people will get justice up to some extent. Land mafia will go back in tunnels, Police will start working better, construction will be quality based again (not like Karachi bridge), equal rights will be given to all districts of Punjab ( not only to Gujrat), Rapists will be punished on spot Inshallah. He is marvelous Administrator and he will prove again. I have seen his tenure and every body in Punjab misses his governance. I wish him again all the best.
I’m amazed on level of jealousy from those people who are sitting in other provinces and opposing him. He is Chief Minister of Punjab… Not Prime Minister of Pakistan. Its better to reserve your comments for your own C.M’s.
Mr. Adman Khan: Comment # 12 is for those who are opposing our selected CM without reason. I hope your CM will also work positively because he seems sincere and dedicated too. Wish you all the best.
Our all provinces need a CM like Shahbaz Shareef.
