I am called an Islamic fundamentalist by Rushdie. My critics in Pakistan say I am a Zionist agent. I must be doing something right.
It's more important to try to do something for the crores of poor people of my country.
It is not defeat that destroys you,it is being demoralized by defeat that destroy you.
The more you study, the more you know; how less you know.
I have always believed that one should not be scared of losing, I think that really is the key.
Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled.
Lack of rule of law is the main reason Pakistan could not join the ranks of progressive nations.
I don't know about whether I thought I would make it this big.
People still laugh at me in politics, they think I won't make it; but I think I will, after Harold Wilson, I will be your next Chancellor to become Prime Minister.
People wanted to vote for us but the mechanics of getting the voters to the polling stations we didnt have. We did not have the money most of all .
If one area I felt it was a tough election was I couldn't see my young son and I couldn't see my wife a lot, but apart from that for her also it was an experience
