LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lifetime president Nawaz Sharif on Monday said that the party will be up against “invisible” forces during the general elections 2018.
“During the elections in 2018, PML-N will be up against such forces that can not be seen. To vote for anyone other than us means approving a government of puppets,” Nawaz said while speaking to a rally in Sahiwal.
Taking jibes at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan, Nawaz said that Ladla (beloved) is failing to achieve his motives and is trying to damage a developing Pakistan.
He added that “Imran continues to call for a Naya Pakistan, but just go and have a look at Peshawar. It is in a miserable state and so is the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.”
Speaking regarding PML-N’s performance during the party’s ongoing tenure, the former premier said that the ruling government has put an end to terrorism, has ended the energy crisis and restored peace and stability in Karachi.
The former PM also questioned his ouster from premiership. “I ask you all again, why was I disqualified? Did I do corruption? No, I was ousted because I refused to accept salary from my son.”
