Pakistan Muslim League N History

PML-N represents the journey of Muslims through their history in South-Asia encompassing several centuries. The hardships that the Muslim community faced in South-Asia under colonial rule directed Muslim leaders at the start of 20th century to assemble themselves under the banner of a political association capable of protecting their interests and rights in India.

Vision

The party’s vision is to assure Pakistan’s prosperity. The Government of PML-N took the country’s reins at an unstable time. The party inherited the economy in a mess, a security condition that was undefendable, and a shortage of power that was difficult to overcome.

The PML-N Government, through its visionary ideas and hard work and bold initiatives, not only navigated the country away from the wreck but also defined a new and positive direction of security, prosperity, and growth. 

Mission

It desires to respond to the modern world’s challenges by unleashing new and innovative infrastructure efficient enough to bolster economic growth, strengthen democratic and Government institutes, national security, and prioritize human development 1st to empower and protect every Pakistani citizen.

The party aims to introduce the agro-industrial reforms to transform Pakistan’s economic landscape into one that would bring many employment opportunities and a bright and secure future for Pakistani youth.  

Establishment of All India Muslim-League

On 30th December 1906, Muslim-India leaders gathered in Dacca and resolved to set up ‘All India-Muslim League.’ In 1930, Allama Iqbal gave a separate land for South-Asian Muslims to solve their economic and political issues.

On 23rd March 1940, under Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s visionary leadership, All India-Muslim League accepted Pakistan Resolution in Lahore, striving to establish a separate and an independent state. 

Succeeded in getting Separate Land

Within 7-years it succeeded in getting a separate homeland for South-Asian Muslims through a long democratic struggle, and on 14th August 1947, Pakistan emerged on the world’s map. After independence, All India Muslim-League changed its name to ‘Pakistan Muslim League.’ The leadership of PML successfully lead Pakistan during a period of difficulties. 

De-railing of Democracy 

Military rulers de-railed the democracy the mid-50s at the behest of the military rulers, leading to martial law sovereignty and was transformed into a drawing-room party.  

Pakistan Muslim League Success

However, when Mr Muhammad Nawaz Shareef took control of the party, it re-appeared as the country’s largest political party in the 1990 elections. In elections of Oct 1993, it won the largest share of votes.

In Feb 1997 it secured a two-thirds majority in Pakistani general elections and became the only party to win seats in all Pakistani provinces. It started long-term reforms in almost all sectors of society and economy.

Reforms by PML-N 

In 1st term, it introduced pro-business amendments towards privatization liberalization and deregulation. In the 2nd term, financial reforms conferring autonomy to Pakistan State Bank to perform as an independent body, de-politicizing the state’s banks and putting professional management in place.

The administration introduced reforms in the agriculture sector and capital markets. 

Major Projects

The Government started an extended range of grass-root development and public welfare projects to generate employment chances under the program ‘Tameer-e-Wattan.

The party administration also launched developmental infrastructure projects like Motorways, New Karachi & Lahore airports, Kohat Tunnel, Gwadar seaport, Chashma nuclear power plant, fibre optic and digital-based telecommunication setup, provision of free medical treatment to deserving kidney patients, provision of electricity to over 5000 villages, Makran Coastal Highway, and conservation/development of water resources.

Struggles for Democracy

The credit for making Pakistan atomic power also goes to the leadership of the party. On 12th October 1999 military rulers overthrew PML-N’s elected Government unconstitutionally. It started a historical struggle under Mr Nawaz Shareef’s visionary leadership and became a symbol for the rehabilitation of democracy in Pakistan due to its efforts.

PMLN Controversies

Supported by Military

Shareef’s power and authority are credited to backing and funding from ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and military. Ex-Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence confessed that he established Islami Jamhoori Ittihad to counter PPP’s power. 

Operation Against Allies

Nawaz Sharif during his 1st term as PM of Pakistan initiated a military-operation against his allies in MQM, Government for accusations against Jinnahpur Conspiracy. ISPR later denied any Jinnahpur conspiracy information hugely publicized in press media before the launch of the operation.

Many MQM workers were killed, leaders were arrested, and MQM Altaf Hussein’s head escaped to the United Kingdom.

Operation 1998

During his 2nd tenure as PM Nawaz started an operation against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) that were allies of Shareef government on charges of murdering Hakim Saeed.

Due to militant activities of MQM Nawaz was forced to terminate alliance with Altaf’s party MQM for the benefit of the nation. The operation leads to bloodshed in Pakistan, and many MQM leaders were arrested.

Allegations of Plane hijacking

In 1999 Nawaz was accused of hijacking the plane in which then CAS (Chief of Army Staff) was travelling to Karachi, but on the control, tower instructed to landplane in India instead of Pakistan.

The army forced courts to punish Shareef. Gen Pervez Musharraf decided to hang Shareef, but due to immense pressure from USA President Bill Clinton and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, he didn’t hang Shareef.

Corruption Allegations

The party was accused and criticized for corruption in economic projects such as NDRP (National Debt Retirement Program), Nandipur Power-Project, and Yellow-Cab scheme. The evidence of these corruptions wasn’t found, and it was declared that these were just accusations by opponent political parties.

An International newspaper then published Panama Papers mentioning Shareef’s sons’ names among those who owned offshore companies.
