004 Can we acccept the statements of Mr. Nawaz Sharif on their face value?

Nawaz Sharif (Former Prime Minister of Pakisthan):

The civilian government must itself run foreign policy and India should not be treated as an enemy country.


I found the above news in the hard copy print of an Indian newspaper. But I am unable to trace it on the internet in spite of my best effort. Mr. Shariff was said to have given the above statement while speaking at a meeting in Sindh, Hyderabad, Pakisthan.

Did Nawaz Shariff really say the above quote?
If he said it, was he really serious?
If he was really serious, what percentage of Pakisthan's population subscribe to his idea?
If majority Pakisthani citizens are going to support Shariff's view, will the Pakisthani army allow it?

Did Shariff lose his Prime Ministership in the past, owing to his excessive friendliness to India?

There are some more allegations against Mr. Sharif which need satisfactory resolution:

*Mr. Sharif was said to have met Osama Bin Laden five times.
*Mr. Sharif was said to have declared in his 1988 election campaign that he would hoist Pakistan's flag on Red Fort, New Delhi.
*Late Benazir Bhutto accused that Laden financed Mr. Sharif, to topple her Government.
