BB evaluated NS weak, inept: WikiLeaks

WASHINGTON: Former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto thought Nawaz Sharif a weak and not much capable person, but she disliked more NS’s brother Shahbaz Sharif, who to her appeared more intelligent than NS, but much more cruel.
According to WikiLeaks, US embassy in a diplomatic analysis sent on August 31, 1998 referring to Benazir views said that Shabaz Sharif in her views was though more intelligent than his brother, but much more cruel than NS. And in this connection she quoted the instance of that bureaucrat, whom Shabaz had ordered to keep standing in the stinking water. She didn’t think NS’s fiddling with Islamisation merely a political opportunism instead she was of the view that this reflected the inner side of NS, as his father was in league with the Lahore Ulema besides NS was upbringing his offspring on the same lines.
