All major roads of the city and the venue of rally were decorated with the banners and posters of PML-N leaders Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz. Hamza Shahbaz while addressing to protesters said eradication of load shedding would be first priority of his government if it came in power in general elections. He said PML-N would bring the national money kept in Swiss accounts and would invest that money to meet energy needs of the country. He said the days of PM and the president were numbered. He said the verdict of Supreme Court on Rental
Power Plants had again proved the corruption of the Pakistan People’s Party government. He said his party had fulfilled all of its promises, unlike PPP. He said the ruling gang in Islamabad was robbing the nation of its resources. He said by pointing out corruption of billions of rupees in rental power project, Supreme Court has put its seal on the irregularities of Zardari government.
