Nawaz Sharif, the 'Lion of Punjab' who never got to roar

Nawaz Sharif became the Prime Minister of Pakistan for a record three times, but every time he was forced to quit in the middle of his term — first by the Presidency, then military and now judiciary. Sharif (67) had served as the PM for the first time from 1990-1993. In July, he resigned under pressure from the army but made a settlement that resulted in the removal of Conservative President Ghulam Ishaq Khan. Sharif’s second term from 1997 ended in 1999 when then Army chief Pervez Musharraf staged a coup. Sharif ended up in jail, convicted of hijacking charges
