Intend of thread is to understand the complete background of our most popular (3 times) PM of Pakistan. Miyan Mohammad Nawaz Sharif.
Mian Sb’s political guru was General Zia ul Haq.
Here is a collection of some rare pictures of Nawaz Sharif with his political mentor, benefactor and spiritual guide General Zia-ul-Haq
Re: Some rare pictures of Nawaz Sharif with General Zia-ul-Haq
Sharif was born in Lahore to a family of Kashmiri immigrants who had settled in Punjab in the late 19th century, the son of Mian Mohammad Sharif, then the owner of a relatively modest cast-iron parts business who later became a prominent industrialist and a joint owner of the Ittefaq Group of Industries. Nawaz Sharif became politically prominent after General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq declared martial law over Pakistan in 1977. Sharif served as finance minister of the province of the Punjab under the dispensation of General Zia, and was later the provincial (Punjab) chief minister. Although the military government is credited with his political debut, and being Punjabi, Sharif became an important figure in Pakistani politics when elected government was restored in 1988 after General Zia’s death, gaining a significant electoral constituency in his hometown Lahore that he has managed to retain.
Re: Some rare pictures of Nawaz Sharif with General Zia-ul-Haq
Zia’s legacy of an Islamized society and support for trading classes was inherited by Nawaz Sharif who was ideally suited to such a designation. He was a scion of a migrant, business family steeped in traditional and religiously conservative ethos. He cashed on anti-PPP and pro-Islam vote bank to the maximum. As prime minister between 1990-92, Nawaz Sharif initiated a whole new era of liberal economic reforms which eased restrictions of capital transfer, facilitated industrial credit and loans and focused on building communication infrastructure. A policy of privitization was also quite vigorously pursued. These policies brought about a period of short-lived economic boom which greatly benefited the industrial base in the central Punjab and helped transform many medium sized industrial units into huge commercial enterprises. The benefits of this economic boom also trickled down to the trading classes in general. This established Nawaz Sharif as the single most popular figure in urban Punjab, especially among the trader community. In the elections of 1993 in which he had briefly fallen out of favour with the Establishment, Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-N percentage of vote was greater than its rivals in the central Punjab. PML-N won 46.6% of vote in comparison to 46.1% won by PPP and its allies. Still, PML-N managed to get only 28 seats while 31 seats went to PPP and its allies. But PML-N’s sweep of the urban constituencies in places like Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot and Sheikhurpura was almost complete. This was despite the fact that an influential portion of PML-N’s rightwing vote was sliced off by Jamat-i-Islami which, instead of keeping an electoral alliance in the form of IJI, fought the election on its own under the banner of Islamic Front.

Re: Some rare pictures of Nawaz Sharif with General Zia-ul-Haq
I think sports and politics are not same. Nawaz Sharif was direct beneficiary of Zia era. He holded positions like CM of Punjab and finance minister… :hmmm:
Re: Some rare pictures of Nawaz Sharif with General Zia-ul-Haq
Ofcourse he was CM Punjab and Zia had great influence on his political upbringing.
