Why are you changing his background the man is a pure Kashmiri with his family originating in Shopian, in Kashmir Valley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.243.226 (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

"ORIGINAL RESEARCH" REMOVED

This article is heavily made up of unsourced, possibly (though untraceable) original research or opinion - not appropriately cited research and verifiable fact. I started added citation requests, but there are simply way too many unverified claims here. I'm removing them so that NPOV researchers can start from a clean slate and build a legitimate article about the subject.Dstewart sailor (talk) 16:30, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

CORRUPTION

why is all his info on corruption missing, this article seems like its been written by his wife, info needs to be put there about his many corruption scandels, like karz utao, ghar apna scheme and his many loan defaults. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.206.107.222 (talk) 17:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Assassination

Cleaned up the details related to the Bhutto assassination, including adding a section header, etc. Tried to make the language a bit more neutral and less stilted, and some of those facts are going to need to be verified. Also cleaned up some of the grammar, but there were a lot of mistakes so I might not have gotten them all.--69.239.135.53 (talk) 20:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Grammar

Parts of this article need re-writing to correct their bad grammar. A number of sentences are unnecessarily long or short, are informal in their style or otherwise are incorrect. Areas requiring attention include the Military Coup section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.200.37.155 (talk) 01:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Succession

In his first tenure as PM he was actually succeeded by Miraj Khalid as "caretaker PM" (see Prime Minister of Pakistan), who in turn was succceeded by BB.--iFaqeer 18:50, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

NPOV

This article seems very biased against Sharif, particularly as you go further in there are many NPOV phrases including direct accusations of corruption and incompetence. I DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH TO EDIT but I wanted to flag this as really needing attention. Palnu

The article doesn't actually say that he was corrupt. It says that his administration suffered from "corruption" and "incompetence". One could make the case that he himself was corrupt and incompetent, but that is not exactly what is being said here.
Incompetence. I'll grant you that incompetence is somewhat subjective. I'll modify the article accordingly.
Corruption. A court found him guilty of corruption, tax evasion and embezzlement. His government was widely regraded as corrupt in Pakistan. Many neutral sources have said that his government was corrupt, as have former members of his own party. Columnist Ayaz Amir, who ran in 2002 as a candidate in Sharif's own PML-N party, said that he "proved to be as corrupt and inefficient as Benazir" [1]
From [2] (the article lists other references at the bottom)
  • The British newspaper, Observer, on Sept. 27, 1998, published a report revealing that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has amassed a personal fortune siphoning off millions of dollars from his country's coffers. The Pakistani Federal Investigation Agency report, revealed to the paper by the FIA's suspended second in command Rahman Malik, was also sent to President Rafiq Tarar. The Observer said that the 200-page report was begun while Sharif was out of power but effectively stifled after he and his Islamic Democratic Alliance party returned to lead the country in February 1997. It said the investigation reveled how Sharif's assets included four flats in London's exclusive Mayfair, worth more than $5 million. More than $70 million was also said to have been traced to accounts and companies controlled by the family. The inquiry was focused on Sharif's Ittefaq group of companies, which grew rapidly during his first term in power in 1990-93. It was alleged that the group received billions of rupees in loans, which were not repaid. Around $8 million is said to be held offshore, and another $50 million in Switzerland. Explaining the modus operandi for money laundering by Sharif family, the report of Rehman Malik stated that Rs. 140 million were siphoned in collusion with Hawala group of Peshawar using the Bank of Oman. The money was repatriated in the form of FEBCs in the name of 43 family members, which include the mother, brother, sister and other close relatives of Mr. Nawaz Sharif.
During Sharif's second term, Pakistan was rated as one of the the most corrupt countries in the world by Transparency International.
The available evidence indicates that there was corruption in Sharif's administration.

Egalitus 21:03, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've toned down the "incompetence" statements. I'd like to invite comment on the neutrality of the overall article. Egalitus 22:14, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Removed references to Indian "adventurism" in the nuclear test section.

Sharif returned to power in February 1997 with such a huge majority that the result was immediately questioned by Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Sharif won by obtaining 90 percent of the national votes cast. Doubts against the authenticity of the national elections always persist and are nearly always contended by Pakistan's losing party. Tony Blair stated in a January interview that he "believed the election was true". Nawaz Sharif, therefore, holds the record in Pakistani politics for securing the heaviest mandate in a general election in Pakistan.

I'd like to resume the neutrality debate, only, not necessarily for or against Sharif, but against the validity of the election results in his favor in 1997. Unlike the last person who raised this concern, I would say that the article is biased in favor of him, or at least the "mandate" he supposedly received. And last I checked, Tony Blair's word shouldn't be taken on anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homoaffectional (talkcontribs) 17:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

In this paragraph:

The general election of February 1997 saw Nawaz Sharif’s party sweeping back into power with such a huge majority that the result was immediately questioned by the PPP.

Is the PPP the Pakistan People's Party? If so, this should be fixed to not use that undefined abbreviation. I'd do it, but I'm not sure that's what's being referred to here. CDC (talk) 30 June 2005 17:08 (UTC)

Ashtonishing Fact: Nawaz was convicted of corruption, and a whole host of other charges. But i never thought of him as corrupt because there hasn't been that much attention in the papers. However, i used to assume Bhutto was corrupt, she has never been convicted! Did everyone know this? or am i just ignorant.

Reply: It is very difficult to convict powerful people in Third World countries like Pakistan. This is due to their enormous power and their tactics of intimidating and corrupting police and judiciaries. Undoubtedly both Bhutto and Sharif are theives.

What about the cases around the world Bhutto has been vindicated in a case in england where the judge said "the NAB were master puppteers of the witch hunt" and the recent AGR which proves that the president funneled money into politicaly motivated charges against BB. I have my doubts but i still believe that some one sould be innocent until proven guilty and surely the current government has more influence in the courts that Bhutto.

Bhutto may not have been convicted due to fleeing the country, but her husband Asif Zirdari has been, and she would have people believe that she nothing of his dealings - in which case she was the only person in Pakistan that did not know his nickname, Mr.10% Streona (talk) 23:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Order of points in article

The current ordering is not chronologically accurate, and seems disjointed: for instance, the "charges" section contains largely details of what is mentioned in the "coup" section, and should logically follow it, in any event (instead, it is two points before it in the present article). Should this not be mended?

Cell Phone

"On September 10, 2007, Nawaz Sharif arrived in Islamabad on a PIA flight from London but was prevented from leaving the plane. This has resulted in massive protests all over Islamabad with several of his supporters reported to have been killed. Musharraf reportedly turned off all cellular services in the vicinity of the airport, creating a massive inconvenience for the people living in twin cities of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. Furthermore, Nawaz Sharif has refused to hand over his passport to Immigration, increasing the chances of him being either deported to Saudi Arabia or arrested and thrown in jail in Pakistan." It is important to mention the rationale of such an action, which was to prevent the useof Cell phones to initiate a Terrorist incident to free Sharif.Alexander 08:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

POV Problem

"Nawaz Sharif arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, having played his small part in the clown show that Pakistani government has evolved to be." This is obvious editorial. Pygmypony 13:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Let me also remind editors that Wikipedia is not a news blog. True, some rather important events are happening in the present in Mr Sharif's life, so it's difficult to determine what is and what isn't important, but I'm pretty sure, for instance, that his return, arrest and deportation require at most two sentences. Please try and trim some of the fat out of this very bloated article. Biruitorul 03:02, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
This article is a complete mess. Lots of stuff, especially duplication, needs to be deleted wholesale, and the rest fixed for POV. Wizzy 11:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Democracy activist??

I've been doing a good deal of work in Category:Democracy activists, and I just came across Mr. Sharif's name. I'm somewhat dubious as to whether he is properly described as a "Democracy activist". There's nothing in the article to indicate that he has, in fact, been a "Democracy activist" -- with the possible exception of his attempt to return to Pakistan, which struck me as more of an attempt to re-enter politics than anything else. I did look through the edit history as far back as March 2006 in hopes of finding out what specific editor had put him in the Category, but that's as far as I could go (the category was already there at that point). So I would appreciate it if some knowledgable editors would be good enough to comment on this. Cgingold 09:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

My wife was a democracy activist whom Sharif's goons attempted to assassinate as a result, crippling her in the process.--Streona (talk) 21:21, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Misleading posts

Seriously, who put this in?

"Musharraf reportedly turned off all cellular services in the vicinity of the airport, creating a massive inconvenience for the people living in twin cities of Rawalpindi/Islamabad.

Nawaz Sharif was arrested upon arrival and taken to jail for further investigations"

How did Musharraf "reportedly turned off all cellular services", and whats the article/news supporting that? And "Nawaz Sharif was arrested and taken to jail", I never knew we had a "jail" at the Islamabad Airport, and again, there is no news to back that up, and even then, we all know he was not "taken to jail".

There is a military airbase that shares the airport, as you can see the Hercules transporters there, and they probably have a brig or something. Streona (talk) 23:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Atleast try to make sense when writing such crap! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fahadzkhan (talkcontribs) 06:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

"Deported" or "Exiled"?

While journalists can be sloppy, Wikipedia should hold to higher standards. You "deport" aliens; you can't "deport" a citizen. It would be more accurate therefore to speak of "forced to leave the country under an arrangement with Saudi Arabia to grant him temporary residence, with restrictions on his movement, travel, and other activities" or "forced exile" or just "exile" rather than "deported" everywhere in this entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.29.197.20 (talk) 03:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

corruption charges

This paragraph needs some serious work:

Nawaz Sharif was also involved in corruption at the highest level during his tenure which brought further mistrust of the people towards his government. The Nawaz government launched a scheme called "Karz utaro, Mulk savaro" whose intent was to pay off debt of the nation through the Pakistani people's pockets. Pakistanis took part aggressively and emotionally to help Pakistan pay off the debt. Many Pakistanis living abroad took part in this scheme extensively and sent millions (maybe billions) to help pay off the debt. Even the poor living in the country helped, to the extent that women sold their jewellery to help the cause, but to no avail. As of this date, it is not known what happened to the funds and the national debt never decreased. It is widely believed that the scheme was to benefit Nawaz Sharif & family, and not to pay off the country's debt.

In addition to being entirely unsourced, the text seems to convey a specific POV, and is filled with emotional charges more befitting an op-ed column than an encyclopedia. If anyone knows anything about the subject and can fix it up, please do so. --Bachrach44 19:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Recent Photograph Needed

Nawaz Sharif appears to have more hair now. Streona (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

This article is completely BS. Nawaz sharif wanted to enforce Islamic law in Pakistan! Why dont you show this pretty little link?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/189735.stm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.170.14 (talk) 02:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

He is a mullah

Didn't Nawaz Sharif just get off the phone from his conversation with Hussain Ahmad and Muhammad Omar?05:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Relations with the military

It seems to me that some of the statements in this section are particularly strong, especially as this section completely lacks any kind of sourcing e.g.:

In October 1998, however, true to form, Sharif fell out with General Karamat as well, over the latter’s advocacy of the need for the creation of a National Security Council in what Sharif believed was a conspiracy to return the military to a more active role in Pakistani politics.

Also, what does "Jehangir Karamat was much later appreciated by Nawaz as a gentleman." mean? Valclav (talk) 03:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Attack at Kargal Chowk

The assertion that PML(Q) was behind the attack is not sourced and unless it is,, reasonably soon, it should be deleted.

This article appears now to be POV pro Sharif and the corruption references dropped. It needs to be rebalanced. Streona (talk) 18:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

What Court decision in 2007 ?

The article says that the Government was called upon to respect the court decision, but what court decision ? The only ones I can determine from the article is the one convicting him of terrorism and the one banning him from standing for election. I cannot see where the Governme t has a problem with either of these.

Also, what is the "Punjabi religious movement" of the late 1800s that Sharif and his family may or may not have been influenced by ?

And after people all over Pakistan gave Nawaz Sharif their jewellery towards the national debt-did anyone get any back ? Streona (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

He was NOT convicted in Absentia

Mr. Sharif was not convicted in absentia for the place hiijacking case. After convicton, while Mr. Sharif was serving the sentence, he was also sentence for corruption charges as well.

Aursani (talk) 15:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Early life

While describing his early life the article says: He also played a side match against West Indies when he was prime minister.

Correction: He was chief minister Punjab and not prime minister at that time. It was in late 1980s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.128.4.231 (talk) 10:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


Maybe someone should add that his ancestors were ethnic Persians from Afghanistan that migrated to Kashmir between the 19th and 20th century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.59.202.45 (talk) 15:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Reinstating Judges

When Sharif was last in power he used his powers to appoint loads of his own party goons as judges. Why should these people be re instated ?--Streona (talk) 13:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Charges

This is redundant and confusing:

The Supreme Court of Pakistan, upholding the position of the Army, disqualified Nawaz Sharif from banned him from holding public office and participating in Pakistani politics for 21 years and fined him 20 million rupees. A plea bargain and intervention of the Saudi royal family spared Sharif from serving a prison term; instead he was exiled to the Saudi Kingdom.

Corruption charges

While serving the life term in jail for plane-hijacking case, Sharif was also charged and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for corruption and tax evasion charges. The ‎Accountability Court of Pakistan has also disqualified him from holding any public office for 21 ‎years, and fined him 20 million rupees, about US$37,000.[10]

So who exactly disqualified him from politics? The Supreme Court or the Accountability Court? Which court fined him? And which one tried to imprison him? These two paragraphs successively claim that it was the Supreme Court, then that it was the Accountability Court. For all I know these are the same court in Pakistan. Someone with more information should rework this.

The Picture is Terrible

The picture shown at the beginning of the article is horrible. It should only be a picture of him. PonileExpress (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Overlinking

I've reverted anons several times on this now. We do not need or want almost every word in the article linked. See here. The problem is that it's unnecessary and an eyesore. Here is what I keep reverting. Unless I'm miscounting, "Prime Minister" is linked 17 times in the anon's edits. 17! And things such as British Prime Minister should be British Prime Minister instead. It's just way way overkill. If the word has relevancy to the article, then it should be linked once or twice. That's right from the Manual of Style. I keep reverting the edits by the anons because very few of the links they are adding need to be added. I'm going to go through and add a few links that should probably be there (Rafiq Tarar is an example). Almost everything else being added by the anons is overkill. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 10:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

This article is an embarrassment to Wikipedia.

This article is badly written, confusing, contradictory, repetitive, poorly sourced, the timelines are disordered - in all ways not of the quality one would expect in an encyclopedia. There are simply too many defects to list. The whole thing should be scrapped and a new one composed by people who know what they're doing and who know how to find and use reputable sources. It's appalling that an article of such poor quality is Wikipedia's attempt at informing the readers about a man of such importance and influence in a country the size and significance of Pakistan. One way to start would be to have a section delineating his positive accomplishments and another his negative impacts. There should be an attempt to find sources that are as unbiased and dispassionate as possible, such as United Nations and other global official and NGO reports. Another suggestion would be to describe how it is that Sharif is a billionaire in a country as poor as Pakistan. As it stands now, this article is virtually useless. Wlegro (talk) 20:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

One problem that appears to plague the article is a near-constant stream of crude vandalism. Rpine75 (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

This article seems incredibly biased

His religion is listed as "corruption." Obviously this page has been manipulated in an unfair way. The introductory paragraph in particular only lists negative attributes. This page should be looked at by an uninterested third party. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.168.63 (talk) 21:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree. e.g. "During the early 1990s, Sharif's administration failed to arrest the 30 percent fall in the value of the Pakistani Rupee from 21 to 30 Rupees against the US Dollar. Sharif, made millions of dollars during the currency crises while the people of Pakistan suffered from high inflation and corruption." this can only be said by a PPP maniac. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.49.106.63 (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

What does he stand for?

There's all this talk here about whether this article is biased, but it doesn't say anything except about some events and that he's for a free judiciary. What are the planks of his party platform?

Why does the article not mention of PML N's attack on Supreme court, or of Nawaz throwing Sajjad Ali Shah in jail for one night, or of making him resign from his post. This indeed seems like is written by someone from his party or family! What about the scam like Qarz Utaro, Yellow Cab, Apna Ghar? It is a pathetic article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ziaullahfm (talkcontribs) 05:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

`Ineligibility to contest` needs rewrite and citation

The section documents current events in March of 2009 but the information to date is uncited. The current state of popular opinion re Sharif following these recent events is also conjecture until some time has passed. Political trends are difficult to document realtime, though I honor the work of the OP in attempting to do so. 12.190.158.6 (talk) 21:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Categozation as criminal removed

I have now removed Category:Pakistani criminals from this article based on the guidelines expounded at Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Biographies of living people which reads: For example, Category:Criminals should only be added if the incident is relevant to the person's notability; it has been published by reliable third-party sources; the subject was convicted; and the conviction was not overturned on appeal. However serious the event, it is not relevant to the person's notability in this case. Since all four criteria have to be met this means that the category must go. Now, this leaves a paradox as Category:Hijackers remains in the article, but I find this to be the right thing to do for now. __meco (talk) 07:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

His thugs nearly killed my wife.He could have been hanged for hijacking & terrorism in trying to take down Musharraf's plane; a scheduled PIA airliner full of people. That's quite noteworthy, before we even start on the corruption charges.--Streona (talk) 10:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
True enough, but that isn't the point I was making when removing these categories. The phrase should only be added if the incident is relevant to the person's notability suggests to me that the category shouldn't be included. The reason I have reversed my position (however tentatively) is also connected to current discussion at Talk:Kjell Inge Røkke concerning whether a Norwegian businessman and celebrity, who had bribed an official in order to obtain a skipper's licence for his pleasure craft, should be categorized as a criminal. __meco (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Reverting the edits of GeneralNeo & YawarSid

1) I am not a political activist of PML nor I ever wanted to be. Wikipedia is far greater project for me than keeping Sharif's reputation. The contention is simple, remove anything and everything which goes against NPOV

2) Mentioning of Operation Cleanup is necessary to have in the section First Term the reason behind that is its recent wide media propagation. Now when some one says "In 1992 he commenced Operation Clean-up in the city of Karachi, a military operation targeting the Mohajir Qaumi Movement" and provide a complete unreliable reference like [1], then its quite necessary to bring in the other perspective and to be precise, the perspective of the accused. I provided with a solid reference of The News article which describes the complete time line of the sequence of events as well as the background to the situation. Apparently it is being removed for no reason. If it is getting controversial that who started the operation against who, NPOV would remain intact by stating "It was during this period when a military offensive was launched against party (A) because of reason (A)(citation), while party (A) thinks it was because of the reason (B)(citation)"

3) The section "Connections to Osama Bin Laden and Talibaan" is created on the basis of the information from a blog called changepk.com and a site asking for public donations, cooperativeresearch.org, none of them qualify to become a reference in the first place. Nawaz connection with osama has been mentioned in one authentic article from dailytimes and that will still find its place in the article.

4) Some more defamatory material was added in "Proposition of an Islamic society based on the Quran". The reference provided is not a news story, not a news headline, not a research report from a well known author, but is an opinion of an article writer. Just to provide with an example, there are several writers who call Musharraf as George Bush's dog, Gearge Bush as biggest terrorist and Obama a false prophet, now these opinions should NOT find their place at wikipedia article. Even if the article writer has his Masters in Journalism from Mars, the article should say, "according to the Marsian article writer, Nawaz Sharif is a an XYZ" and not. Nawaz Sharif is an XYZ.

5) Placing the section Assassination of Benazir after discussing General Elections of 2008 makes absolutely no sense at all. The rearrangement breaks the chain of events and confuses the reader. In one para he reads it as, Nawaz won this many seats right in the next he has been th rusted to read assassination of benazir.

I hope I have made myself clear Sarmadhassan (talk) 02:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Meeting with Osama bin Laden and Interview of ex-ISI agent

1. As far as I can see the site is not trying to create itself a referencing source or authority but giving references to two different stories published in Indian Express and Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/world/pakistan/Nawaz-Sharif-met-Osama-five-times-Ex-ISI-official/articleshow/4989203.cms and http://www.expressindia.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=49342) which are needless to mention are websites of two famous newspapers of India. So for your information the section of Taliban and Osama Bin Laden has nothing to do with changepk.com as it doesn't claim to be a source instead displays valuable discussion of the story along with the ex-ISI officer named Khalid Khawaja.

2. The website hosts the video interview of the ex-ISI agent involved in setting up meeting of Osama bin Laden, nothing found elsewhere on the web with explanation of what it is, thus creating value for Wikipedia readers.

3. The conclusion is simple, do everything to maintain NPOV and provide valuable contents.

I hope this all make sense :) --YawarSid (talk) 11:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

The topic of discussion is not whether Nawaz meet osama or not, the point is, whether it should be mentioned as a separate section with a H2 heading tag. The website might be providing references to authentic sources but the primary reference given is severely defamatory and written as a general public blog. Moreover it is repeatedly placed in external links. External links are supposed to provide overall biography, political status, articles written, speeches conducted of BOLP and not an article discussing a particular issue, in this case Osama and Nawaz.

If for some reason fellow editors thinks of this as absolutely necessary then I would also like the same editors to place a separate section naming, "Connections To Taliban" in the article Ronald Regan with reference [2] along with quotes of Regan about Taliban during cold war plus an external link to the reference provided.

Out of numerous genuine article, research reports on Nawaz available and from nowhere out from the dark one ISI agent comes in to say he arranged a meeting of Nawaz and Osama and wikipedia article to have the seperate section for it does not any value for a reader because its like placing a spot light on a fly in Royal Ballet .

Wikipedia goes with trends. It is not an issue today but tomorrow if the whole print, electronic media start discussing the issue on a wide scale and I can see articles written on that in Newyork times, CNN taking expert opinions on the issue, BBC making a documentaries, and foreign offices raising the issue on diplomatic level. I will not only place this section but will expand it.

Sarmadhassan (talk) 21:51, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

While I hold Sarmad's opinion in respect, but I agree with YawarSid.

1- This story detailing Nawaz's sympathy with Taliban and his connections to Osama-bin-Ladeb are not recent revelations. The story goes back as far as early 1990's and also printed in 2005. This was reported by several US based Newspapers including ABC News, The Sun New York in 2008 and also detailed by History Commons Organization.

2- Changepk is not the original source and has merely quoted an incident that was reported way back in 2005 by Asia Times and revisited in 2008 as well.

3- A former senior State Department South Asia specialist, Daniel Markey, acknowledged that Mr. Sharif had "connections" to Al Qaeda in the 1990s. But he said it would be incorrect to call the former premier an Islamist.[3]

4- In an interview with a national Urdu daily, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, the leader of the largest Islamic party in Pakistan, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), and of the six party religious alliance MMA, said that Nawaz had repeatedly met Osama bin Laden who offered him money to buy the loyalties of parlimentarians in the late 1980s in order to topple the government of then prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Ahmad also said that bin Laden was a big supporter of Nawaz Sharif's bid to be prime minister in 1990.[4]

5- Khawaja details regarding the meetings "I still remember that Osama bin Laden provided me with funds, which I handed over to Nawaz Sharif, then the chief minister of Punjab [and later premier], to dislodge Benazir Bhutto. Nawaz Sharif insisted that I arrange a direct meeting with the "Sheikh", which I did in Saudi Arabia. Nawaz met thrice with Osama in Saudi Arabia. " The most historic was the meeting in the Green Palace Hotel in Medina between Nawaz Sharif, Osama and myself, Khayyam Qaiser is the witness for that meeting in which Khayyem, the personal staff officer tried to take a photograph but Osama's friends there stopped him.[5]

6- The NPOV can be confirmed from additional neutral sources mentioned below:

http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/1779 and http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=spring89gulbhutto#spring89gulbhutto and http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_23-6-2005_pg7_34 and http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=alate96osamaelection#alate96osamaelection

7- Hence I think its proper to include a sub-heading GeneralNeo (talk) 17:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Dear User:Sarmadhassan,

There are many referencing stories being published in newspapers around Pakistan and the issue being discussed in talk shows in Pakistan, do you live in Pakistan?

Check these stories out: http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009\09\10\story_10-9-2009_pg7_23

Watch this video of 11th Hr program with Jasmin Manzoor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AowG8GoUir4

I think User:GeneralNeo and myself have proved our point thus including the contents back. Thank you YawarSid (talk) 18:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Reversion

There have been a lot of edits made over the past week that are:

I know that these edits have been made with the beest of intentions, but editors must understand that that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. However paassionately you feel for or against Mr. Sharif, edits must be done in a neutral tone of voice and using materials that is referenced from reliable sources. You cannot just start adding things that you believe to be true. Ground Zero | t 18:24, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I have taken a stab at removing poorly-written, unreference, biased material. This needs more work and to be watched closely. Ground Zero | t 18:52, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Revisions required by this article.

Hello,

This article does not fit into Wikipedia's writing standard for Biographies. I am hoping independent editors and editors relating to WikiProject Pakistan would revise this article to fit the standard of a properly written biography of a political leader. Please correct some of the problems that include but are not limited to:

  • Poorly referenced articles.
  • Numerous repetitions within and outside sections.
  • References to blog sites and editorial pages as opposed to genuine news sources.
  • Untitled references that make it difficult to identify the cited News Article.
  • Poorly used grammar in many sections of the article. (Ineligibility to Contest etc.)
  • Chronologically flawed pattern of writing, dates are mixed up. Needs to be written in order of the dates of particular events.
  • Sections such as 'Return to Pakistan in 2007 after forced exile' do not seem to be a section of a biography but a timeline that has scattered news events on it.
  • Poor pattern for titles. 'Chief minister of Panjab' sub-section comes within 'Political Life' section but excludes the 'Prime Minister' section although both sections include details regarding his tenure in political positions.
  • The picture showing Pakistan's first national highway is under the 'Return to Pakistan' section instead of the 'Prime Minister' Section, which is irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Umervakil (talkcontribs) 09:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


As a good start and to serve as an example, I have made a few edits to make this article seem more reliable:

  • Fixed chronological issues such as the position of the sub-section: 'Assassination of Benazir Bhutto'.
  • Removed the 'Resignation from Coalition Government' section as its content was a repetition of information mentioned in the 'Reinstatement of Judges section'.
  • Titled many untitled news references. Added the News source and the date the article was written on.
  • Removed some unauthentic news references including a reference to a page that provided no relevant information to the article.
  • Revised the 'Reinstatement of Judges' section as it was poorly worded and the grammar used in it was completely wrong. The content may remain objectionable.

I hope my contributions can start the cleaning-up of this page. Please try to add accurate references and contribute more to this article at the same time.

"The may be it is true executive authorisation of Pakistan's nuclear testing programme was an important turning point in his political career that would bring his image into world prominence."

I'm not doubting the facts of this sentence, but the beginning of this sentence makes no sense. Since there have been some accusations of bad faith edits here, and disputes over accused point-of-view pushing (which I'm not interested in evaluating)-- and because I'm not at all sure what the beginning of this sentence is trying to say-- I thought I'd put it here for someone familiar with the topic to edit this sentence into something that makes more sense.

Scandals

all the scandals I have given are fact, there is no question of fale or alleged, its like watergate all the scandals listed are facts and no way to deny them --Multan47 (talk) 23:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Where is the Neutrality?

I cannot find the source stating that Nawaz Sharif is personally involved in those scandals. His party's members and his younger brother is linked, not his name. The scandal page should be merged with PML-N's page. The Taxation scandal proves his involvement in 1999, but I cannot find his name in the sources.

The term "No Wonder, People of other province....." are nothing but simply insulting his personality. I did research in his industrial program. Yes, the program was simple case of "industrial racism", but it should be written in more academic style, constructive criticism should be given to him. Personal bias, personal hatred, anger, and brutal grammar made this article hard to justify and difficult to approach. Also, in Nuclear tests sections, why is Pervez Muharraf's comments there?

Pervez Musharraf had no military or/ logistics role conducting the nuclear tests, he was not even taken confident in the program. It was general Karamat who was involved in all of the efforts. Musharraf, with all due paying respect, had no role in the atomic bomb programme until he became Chief of Army Staff in 1999. His comments are not factual and true to its nature. I strongly suggest removing Musharraf's comment on nuclear testings sections.

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan is also not trusting figure, on many occasions he provided wrong figures which were noted by Western journalists and his own peers. He does has problems with former prime minister, he had no role in the development of nuclear testings sites. He project himself of something he is not. Including senior officials and journalists later figured out that Khan's role was not deeply as big as he made it. In an article (source provided), it states that dr. Khan was not even invited to witness the tests by Sharif nor he acted as the prime minister's science adviser. Dr. Mubarakmand and dr. Ishfaq Ahmad were the ones leading and advising on nuclear physics issues; when Khan learned it, he was frustrated with the prime minister. Dr. Khan's knows that whole nation knows his dirty truth, that is why on many occasions (if he wouldn't miss) gave vehement criticism to the prime minister. I'm not Sharif's big fan, but true factual facts must be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.3.146.238 (talk) 02:27, 7 February 2012 (UTC) He is a very honest man. aspacielly for aoudiance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.185.145.117 (talk) 10:47, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Cricket career

As Sharif is a former first-class cricketer, a fact acknowledged by the page being in category:Pakistan Railways cricketers, it's surprising to me that there isn't a single mention of his short career in the article. Even if he was otherwise a complete unknown and had no other career, he would still meet cricket notability guidelines, but the word "cricket" doesn't even appear in the piece currently. —Strange Passerby (t × c) 16:42, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

He is not known for the single first class cricket match he played decades ago. I think this cricket career should be removed from this article and external links section except categories.

Neutrality

No such thing as Punjabi of Kashmiri origin. This term has its origin from the Jewish lobby for known reasons. Sharif and his wife are pure Kashmiris residing in the Punjab. Both Kashmiris and Punjabis are a distinct ethnic group.


Sharif is surely a pure Aryan Kashmiri. But his family is not of Brahmin (Bhat or Butt) background but of some other caste. This is true. His wife of is of pure Aryan Brahmin Kashmiri background. Granddaughter of mighty Gama Bhat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.65.105 (talk) 23:24, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

A new term is being coined by some foreigners (for their future agenda) mentioning Punjabi of Kashmiri origin. There is no link between the Punjabi and Kashmiri these are two distinct people. Moreover, to refer to a Kashmiri as a Punjabi is more often an abuse. Nawaz is from a Khaar (Lohar) family of Kashmir Valley while his wife was from the Brahmin Bhat (Butt) clan of Kashmiris.

Hi @Tollens: It appears preferable to seek consensus before adding these books because {{Controversial}} template is already on top of this talk page and because the titles of these books suggest that this is the best course of action.
