<p>	 Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif voices concerns over Pakistan&#8217;s economic condition in comparison to India&#8217;s advancements	 	</p>
<p>						LAHORE: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif expressed deep concern over his nation&#8217;s financial standing, juxtaposing it with India&#8217;s remarkable achievements, including reaching the moon and hosting the prestigious G-20 summit. Sharif underscored the economic struggles of Pakistan, stating that the country finds itself seeking financial assistance from other nations.</p>
<p>During a party meeting in Lahore, conducted via video link, Sharif questioned the trajectory of Pakistan&#8217;s economic growth, pointing fingers at the role of ex-army generals and judges. He emphasized that while India has successfully navigated economic reforms since the 1990s, attaining substantial financial reserves and global influence, Pakistan continues to grapple with a crippling economic situation.</p>
<p>The 73-year-old leader, a prominent figure in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, drew a stark contrast between India&#8217;s economic progress and Pakistan&#8217;s ongoing struggle with uncontrollable double-digit inflation, exerting immense pressure on its populace, particularly the vulnerable segments of society. He urged introspection regarding the reasons behind Pakistan&#8217;s inability to replicate India&#8217;s advancements.</p>
<p>Sharif specifically highlighted India&#8217;s astounding increase in foreign exchange reserves, rising from one billion dollars during Atal Bihari Vajpayee&#8217;s tenure as Prime Minister to an impressive 600 billion dollars today. He questioned why Pakistan finds itself in a position of financial dependency, seeking aid from other nations, while India stands as a global player, achieving significant milestones. Sharif&#8217;s comments have reignited discussions about Pakistan&#8217;s economic policies and the need for comprehensive reforms to bridge the gap with its neighboring nations.<br />
