LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz went around Lahore to invite people to the December 13 Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) rally, saying that the time has come to get rid of the incumbent government once and for all.
“The daughter of Lahore will herself invite all Lahoris to attend the rally,” she remarked before setting out on her journey. She also attended a meeting of National and Provincial Assembly members of PML-N before the departure.
Talking to journalists, Maryam Nawaz said that in the meeting today, it was decided that all members of parties that are a part of PDM will hand in their resignations to their party heads.
She further said that the party had not yet formally asked for resignations but there was a stack of them that had been turned in. “The directives will be issued following the December 13 rally,” she added.
The PML-N leader led the rally from Jati Umra to Gajoomta via Ring Road. At one point in her drive around Lahore, as she addressed supporters, she remarked that every step of the way, it had appeared as if a rally is already taking place.
During one stop, Maryam Nawaz said, “Now it is time for you to extend your support to Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, and PDM. This government can no longer be allowed to run.”
“The time has come upon us to send this fake government and the inflation it brought, packing,” she said, adding that the man who would go around saying he will not give anyone an NRO is now begging with his hands folded for an NRO.
Addressing the prime minister, she said, “Know this. Nawaz Sharif will not grant you an NRO,” adding, “Come rain, storms, or any hurdles, we will now meet at Minar-e-Pakistan. See you all there.”
