Nearly 14 years after being deposed in a military coup and forced into exile, Nawaz Sharif took over the reins of Pakistan as its Prime Minister for a record third term, as he vowed to revive the country's ailing economy and called for an end to the controversial US drone strikes.
Listing some of the major challenges, including the power shortfall, economic meltdown, and precarious law and order situation in his speech, 63-year-old Sharif said he would not portray any rosy picture to the people but he won’t disappoint them either.
Foreign policy issues, including relations with India, did not figure in Sharif's speech though he did say that US drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal belt "must stop".
A word cloud analysis of Sharif's speech revealed that the words most frequently used by Sharif included problems, accountability, challenges and vision.
