He immediately touched a chord with the villagers by paying respect to elders and speaking in chaste Punjabi.
He recalled his first visit to the village, along with his father and five uncles, when they sat on the cots of the panchayat and relished hot milk served by the villagers.
He said his father was very emotionally connected with this village because theirs was the only Muslim family here.
He said that it was all destiny that his family migrated first to Amritsar.
Recalling their struggle from the family of humble farmers, he said his uncles worked as daily wagers at the factory of one Hindu and later started their own iron-casting factory.
He said when this factory was taken over by Bhutto they started their journey from the scratch, and with the grace of god he was now Wazir-e-Azam of Pakistan-Punjab and his brother was Wazir-e-Azam of Pakistan.
Sharif said it was destiny that his father migrated before the partition and he was born in Pakistan.
