LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has slammed the PTI-led federal government for its ‘revenge policy’ against the Opposition amid efforts by parties to oust the PTI from power.
“The government is only taking revenge from the Opposition after coming into power,” PML-N Punjab President Rana Sanaullah said while addressing a rally at Lahore’s Mall Road held in solidarity with Shehbaz Sharif, who was arrested earlier this week.
Rana Sanaullah further said that the government, instead of providing shelter to the people, has made them homeless. “The huge attendance by people in the demonstration was evidence that Lahore had woken up,” he added.
“Shehbaz Sharif served Punjab with honesty for 10 years. The government had earlier filed two cases against him, but no headway was made,” he said, adding, “Even if they investigate Shehbaz for 10 years, they won’t find anything on him.”
On the occasion, former railway minister Khawaja Saad Rafique said that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif wants the rule of democracy and for the Constitution and law to be upheld in the country.
He said, “What wrong has Nawaz Sharif done? He only demands that the Constitution reign supreme,” he said, adding, “Is this revolting against the state? Is this betrayal?”
“Eleven parties the Opposition has termed Prime Minister Imran Khan as selected,” he remarked. Referring to Pakistan Democratic Movement, he said that it was made after the government failed to control inflation and resolve the problems people faced.
“They haven’t jailed Shehbaz Sharif, they have incarcerated the lion of Punjab,” he said, adding that when they were out of options, the Opposition opted for PDM.
The PML-N leader said that the nation and the PML-N had tolerated the government for two years now, but the PTI only made shallow promises to the people.
