WikiLeaks: Nawaz responsible for Islamic radicalism – The Express Tribune
The former Afghan foreign minister believed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif was responsible for Islamic radicalism in the region.

In a cable message sent from the American embassy in Kabul in September, he is quoted as saying, “We know Sharif is bad news. He is the author of Islamic radicalism in our region”.

The cables reveal that Dr Rangin Dadfar Spanta, the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed these views during a meeting with Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher in August 2007.

Boucher in turn agreed that Nawaz could return to lead a movement against former president Pervez Msuharraf and the US.

“Boucher agreed that Sharif could return to lead a movement that is pro-Islam, anti-Musharraf and anti- U.S.”

Spanta’s remarks came in relation to a discussion on the joint Pakistan-Afghanistan jirga held the same year which Musharraf had initially declined to attend due to fears Nawaz might be allowed to return to the country by the Supreme Court.

“Boucher clarified that Musharraf’s initial decision not to attend was not a snub to the jirga itself but a cautionary move by Musharraf, who feared the Pakistani Supreme Court would rule to allow former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to return to Pakistan.”

There is little doubt that Sharif family is extreme right wing. Nawaz Sharif is a protégé of the bigot Zia and also darling of the Wahabi Saudi Arabia. This also evident from the fact that PMLN opposed even a minor amendment in the Huddood Laws and the Law Minister Rana Sanaulah unashamedly hobnobs with the banned terrorist SSP. I would therefore go along with the supposition that Shahbaz Sharif warning enabled Lashkar Tayyaba to clear their accounts before these were frozen. It is also a bitter truth that PML-N controls Punjab, the most important and largest of the provinces.

I am hoping against hope that sooner or later PPP would be able to clean its house and allow honest and capable leadership to emerge. Together with ANP & MQM, Pakistan could then have a liberal forward looking government.

No, it was his master Zia-ul-Haq who is responsible for Islamic Radicalism in the region in conjunction with US and Saudi Arabia.

Sharif is just a remnant of Zia's time, he was finance minister under his tenure.

The leader who is willing to implement a constitution as per the wishes of Quaid-e-Azam will be the one who can turn Pakistan into the country it can be and it ought to be.

What Jinnah wanted for Pakistan should be the only concentration of the leader because Jinnah laid out an excellent plan that is a suited for the nation/state called Pakistan.

We do not need stooges for foreign nations who cannot tackle the problems that Pakistan face.

As for naming one, I cannot think of any.
