11.Ldrs should not be held hostage to the past – but must carry their nations forward learning the lessons of the past.

12. Unfortunately, PM Sharif seems unable to take any policy initiative or even a position of clarity on India publicly. — Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) December 2, 2015

13.If PM is convinced of rightness of his cause then he should not fear the ppl but lead by convincing public of his position on India

14. Simply cowering in fear & resorting to clandestine mtgs is not the hallmark of a strong confident leader with conviction; — Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) December 2, 2015

15.Instead it betrays a fear bec he knows there is a very real conflict of interest between his private business & the nation’s interests.
