Comparing the present to his time in 2017, Sharif questioned, "Can anyone tell if today's Pakistan is better than Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan of 2017?" He cited concerns over the rising prices of essential commodities and expressed empathy for those grappling with bills and inflation.

The former PM emphasized his commitment to the people, contrasting himself with the "imported prime minister" of the current government. He vowed to build a hospital for heart disease, a college for students, and a state-of-the-art cricket stadium, all while elevating Syed Wala to the status of a model city.
