LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday asserted that his party would ‘bury the politics’ of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the 2023 general elections.
Addressing a workers’ convention in Rawalpindi, the Opposition Leader in National Assembly congratulated the party for achieving significant success in the recently held cantonment board elections.
Shehbaz Sharif said his party’s victory in the cantonment board election was not a little achievement, as it had “practically buried the ruling party” for all future polls.
Terming the cantonment board polls fair, he urged all the institutions to ensure free and fair elections according to the aspiration of the people of Pakistan, adding that the people have now realised that the ” selected government was wreaking havoc in the country”.
The PML-N President further said that if his party had won the 2018 elections, it would’ve been the fourth tenure of Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan would’ve been at par with Turkey and ahead of India in prosperity.
He said that prices of all the essential commodities have increased including flour, lentils and sugar. “Despite all this the ‘selected’ says don’t panic,” he maintained. Shehbaz also urged the people of Pakistan to “take a stand” against soaring inflation.
Shehbaz said that sugar price had reached Rs110 per kilo while flour was available at Rs70 per KG, adding that the people of Pakistan have never experienced such a situation. “You have to support us to lift the country from this mess,” he added.
The PML-N president said that the PTI had promised 10 million jobs but hundreds of thousands have lost their livelihood since the party came into power. He said that if his elder brother Nawaz Sharif was still in power, thousands of people would still be employed.
