Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has said his party was contesting election with a vision of making Pakistan a peaceful‚ self-reliant and progressive state .
Addressing an election gathering in Dijkot on Tuesday‚ he said a national health insurance programme would be launched to take care of the most vulnerable people in the society.
Nawaz vowed that Pakistan would scale the peaks of progress in their next government.
“Power load shedding was nonexistent in our days. Instead of a shortfall, there was a surplus to the extent that even India was trying to buy electricity form us. In those days, Pakistan commanded respect in the world,” the PML-N leader said.
He said power load shedding and gas shortage had crippled daily life of the people while high inflation‚ unemployment and poverty had brought the society to its knees.
Nawaz said the PML-N would ensure access to safe drinking water across Pakistan, including in far-flung areas.
He urged the masses to reject corrupt leaders through the power of vote.
Nawaz added that the PML-N aimed to restore Pakistan’s lost status and include its name in the list of progressed countries.
The PML-N president reiterated that his party would resolve all issues facing the country, including violence in Balochistan and Karachi, if voted to power.
He said provision of gas, electricity and jobs was the right of the people and the past government deprived the masses of these rights.
“The country will remain in a sea of problems if the masses do not vote for the PML-N,” he said.
Nawaz said the previous governments left the country in the midst of crises.
He claimed that after coming to power, the PML-N would build motorways up to Karachi, besides ensuring jobs for educated youth and interest-free loans for unemployed persons.
