Nawaz Sharif joined Pakistan Muslim League (PML) in 1976. During these days, Ghulam Jilani Khan who was a senior officer in ministry also, later on, had been Chief of ISI. Ghulam Jilani was looking for a Well Professional Candidate who knows how to work in cities. Accidentally he met with an intellectual, well-qualified person, Nawaz Sharif. Jilani decided to give him authority after looking at his credential. That’s how Sharif became a Finance Minister.
