Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Babar Awan has accused the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of bringing in Punjab government employees and using the state machinery for its Faisalabad rally. Talking to reporters on Sunday, Awan said PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif was scared of a bowler whose rally in Lahore had stunned the Sharif brothers. In an apparent reference to Nawaz but without him, Awan said that a person, who recently claimed to be a revolutionary, had made a deal with a military general to seek exile and escape imprisonment. He said the PML-N would not be able to dupe people anymore, as the public knew that Nawaz’s journey from Gawalmandi to Raiwind was a result of “special favours from certain quarters”.
