Shahbaz Sharif joins protest against load-shedding ssss

On 5 May 2012, Shahbaz Sharif has said that load-shedding, poverty and unemployment have made the life of the people miserable and it has become difficult for the poor to make both ends meet. He has said democracy is the name of service to the masses but the rulers sitting in Islamabad have made it a source of loot and plunder. In May 2012, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has termed loadshedding in the province a conspiracy hatched by the federation and President Asif Ali Zardari. Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif Saturday said a visible reduction in loadshedding and complete end to the unscheduled power outages by the Federal government after protests was a clear proof of government's ill intent. On 2 June 2012, Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif has said that the people now want electricity instead of democracy and therefore he keeps the democratic system sans electricity on his toes. On the other hand many popular figures critisized his work for punjab. According to them he must use the public taxes to solve the electricity blackout problem, instead of starting new projects like Lahore Metro, laptop scheme and danish schools.

While going through the article,i happened to see that the date of birth of Mr Shahbaz Sharif has been incorrectly stated.It has been mentioned that he was born in 1950, whereas after confirming from other sources i have learned that his exact date of birth is 23rd September 1951.The source link is given below:

http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_24-9-2005_pg7_14

Please change born 1950 to born 23rd September 1951 because the link given above shows that the article was published on 24th september 2005 (saturday) and the article clearly states that Mr Shahbaz Sharif celebrated his 54th birthday on friday. This indicates that he celebrated his 54th birthday on 23rd september (friday) 2005. This concludes that he was born on 23rd september 1951.Hoping to see a positive response. Lionsavior (talk) 11:09, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

The Daily Times has reported that Mr Shahbaz Sharif turned 54 in 2005.

I would contend that both "Shahbaz Sharif" and "Shehbaz Sharif" are used, but "Shahbaz Sharif" is the name used in his in the official capacity.

The official government site punjab.gov.pk has his name as Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif

The official site for the Office of the Chief Minister of Punjab also has the following :

• The list of staff Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif
• The two news articles of the front page [2] and [3] have "Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif"
• However it does link to the twitter that uses Shehbaz Sharif News and facebook page Mian Shehbaz Sharif

There is also the facebook page Mian Shahbaz Sharif Official

Google "Shahbaz Sharif" and you get 726,000 results, Google "Shehbaz Sharif" and it only has 364,000 results

Google "Shahbaz Sharif" in just news you get 4,750 results, do the same for "Shehbaz Sharif" and only has 339 results

shabaz sharif(chearrri bosamk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.40.7.96 (talk) 10:48, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

As such it looks like "Shahbaz" is used in the official capacity, where "Shehbaz" is used in the less official things like social media. I have no idea if this is a normal thing in Pakistan of just something he does?

This means that both officially, in context to his job and thus what the article is mostly about, and in comparative usage "Shahbaz Sharif" is the correct choice, but the article should mention both as he is very clearly known as both. KylieTastic (talk) 10:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't think WP should jump around, but should opt for one version throughout with a notification of the other version. My preference is for the version used in the Pakistan government website, which is "Shahbaz". In that case, the article title should be changed back to "Shahbaz". I could make these changes, but invite discussion. Errantios (talk) 11:34, 12 April 2022 (UTC) PS: I cannot make these changes myself, not currently being an extended confirmed user.

Cleanup

Hi @Mar4d and Greenbörg: I have just begun the job of cleaning up this messed up bio and need your comments to further improve it. Just so you know... I have added three new subsections under the Political career (first three ones). I believe the sources are good and these three sub-sections can be further expanded.

I have moved the material that we had under the section "Second term as Chief Minister" to List of initiatives of Punjab Government (2008–13) for the time being and outright removed the promotional press releases alike content that we used to had under the section "Third term as Chief Minister". But I left behind two sub-sections "Model Town Massacre" and "Kasur child sexual abuse scandal", which doesn't look very much relevant here so I need your opinion to how extent these two sub-sections be trimmed down? Also I would appreciate if you guys could suggest which noteworthy initiatives or projects should be moved back from the List of initiatives of Punjab Government (2008–13) and be mentioned under the section "Second term as Chief Minister"? --Saqib (talk) 14:15, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

@Saqib: Would it not be better to convert the list into an article and name it Shehbaz Sharif administration (similar to Pervez Khattak administration)? Mar4d (talk) 15:37, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

I have no plans to work on it. I welcome suggestions concerning this bio. --Saqib (talk) 15:55, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

@Saqib: I tried to simplify the things up. I moved all messy data to Chief Ministership of Shehbaz Sharif where we can clean up all that stuff. Greenbörg (talk) 08:49, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Sabzazar case

@Störm: I don't get logic behind the outright removal of Sabzazar case section. IMO, the information should be retained here for the sake of NPOV. It can be chunk down but removal of entire section does not make sense to me. --Saqib (talk) 10:05, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Saqib I was about to add 'Public section' which may make article little lengthy and as per WP:SUBARTICLE it is perfectly fine to spin-off stuff. It isn't going anywhere, I added instantly to its subpage. Störm (talk) 10:08, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

WP:SPINOUT says Very large articles should be split into logically separate articles. I don't think this one is a very large article and that we should start removing properly sourced material. --Saqib (talk) 10:11, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Pardon my question. Sharif was released on bail last year, and became prime minister this year? -SusanLesch (talk) 18:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

He would be disqualified from Parliament if convicted: Constitution s 63(1)(l). Otherwise, his eligibility is legally unaffected. Politically, there will no doubt be pressure for the charge to be dropped. Errantios (talk) 23:43, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Money Laundering Cases:

In December 2019, anti-graft body - National Accountability Bureau (NAB) froze 23 properties that belong to Shehbaz and his son Hamza, accussing the father and the son of money laundering.

In September next year (2020), NAB had arrested Shehbaz on charges of money laundering and income beyond means case.

The case was instituted against him by Imran Khan-led government and Shehbaz denied the charges, terming them as "politics victimisation". However, he had to be behind the bar for several months before the Lahore High Court in April released him on bail in money laundering case.

Money laundering case in the UK:

Shehbaz is currently facing a PKR 14 billion money laundering case in the United Kingdom brought against him by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The leader is on bail in the case.

Five corruption cases have been launched by the government of prime minister Imran Khan previously against the 70-year-old supremo of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz since his ouster from the office by the Supreme Court in July 2017 in the Panama Papers case.

The National Accountability Bureau's (NAB) regional board, under the chairmanship of its Director General Shahzad Saleem, discussed the additional corruption cases against Nawaz, his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif, daughter Maryam Nawaz and 13 others in money laundering and possession of assets beyond known sources of income investigation.

Calling him a murderer in the lead

Regardless of the truth of this statement, has he been convicted in court? The article in the citation seems to say that charges will be brought, but Wikipedia, for a variety of reasons, does not call people criminals before their convictions. This article calls him a murderer in the lede. Perhaps we should rethink thatXenologer48 (talk) 17:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 October 2022

Article currently reads: "Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif (Punjabi and Urdu: میاں محمد شہباز شریف, pronounced [miˈãː moˈɦəmːəd ʃɛhˈbaːz ʃəˈriːf]; born 23 September 1951) is a Pakistani politician and murderer[2]"

The last part "and murderer" is neither factual nor specific enough nor neutral for the following reasons and should be deleted, in addition the cited reference should be removed:

1. The article cited in the references is a news article which reported that a Pakistani court registered murder charges against the subject of the Wikipedia article Shehbaz Sharif. Registering charges is not the same as a conviction nor does it imply such. Registration of charges is merely formally bringing charges against a defendant before a trial.

2. The Punjab police formally closed their murder investigations against Shehbaz Sharif in October 2015 without any conviction or trial: https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/pakistan/pakistan-police-closes-murder-case-against-pm-sharif-family-1.1605506

3. A label of "murderer" is not specific enough to denote the exact charge or degree for which someone was convicted.

4. Calling someone a murderer is hardly in line with the neutrality expected of Wikipedia articles. SBR249 (talk) 18:44, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I have watchlisted this article, but might not catch it if it is done again. The Pakistani PM certainly shouldn't be described as a "murderer".

Wealth

Semi-protected edit request on 10 June 2023 (slight change in "Book" place)

Greetings, the "Book" section is situated a bit too down, generally it isn't that far in the page, so I'm wondering if it was possible to just put it above the "See also" section (and thus after "Toshakhana Records").

It seems more logical and natural.

So I want to replace the current thing :

• ʻAzm o himmat kī dāstān (عزم و همت كى داستان; "A tale of resolve and courage"), Lāhore : Sharīf Publīcations, 2000, 72 p. History and struggle of business endeavours of the Sharif family.

I also put some capital letters to make it more reader-friendly.

Thanks

Infobox Picture

@SheriffIsInTown I would suggest using a more recent picture taken in 2024 for an incumbent PM. The current picture is kind of unprofessional for a Prime Minister, and is taken when he was Chief Minister of Punjab. Instead I would suggest this one in 2024 that is also high quality, is recent and looks proffesional.
