Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday dismissed allegations of election rigging in Punjab and said that any such accusations were baseless.
Speaking to various delegations, Shahbaz Sharif urged the people to strive for a prosperous Pakistan by setting aside election differences.
“I wish that all parties sit with the PML-N for the sake of nation building,” he said.
“We all have to work together for the welfare and well-being of our people,” he added.
He said that allegations of rigging during elections in Punjab were baseless and people had also refused to buy all such claims. He advised those who had lost elections to review their policies and attitude towards general masses instead of making false claims.
“No party can call itself the true representative of people while ignoring the needs of clerks who have to travel by bus, energy-starved shopkeepers, students from government institutions, poor farmers and millions of other downtrodden Pakistani men and women,” the former chief minister said.
“Now, when people have given a fresh mandate to the PML-N, it is my utmost desire that the people of Pakistan work hand-in-hand for nation building and a strong, prosperous Pakistan,” he said.
