PESHAWAR: Adviser to the Prime Minister Amir Muqam has said that the leadership of both Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf were trying to postpone the forthcoming general elections in a face-saving move, adding that they will not let them run.
He said this while addressing a big public meeting at Kharakai PK-28, district Mardan, where he inaugurated provision of Sui gas facilities to the area along with other developmental projects. He said both PPP and PTI have been using delaying tactics.
He said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was the party of the masses and they will expose people involved in politics of agitation.
He added that his party was united like it was in the past.
“PPP and PTI leadership badly failed in delivering to the masses,” he said, adding the slogan of change has proven to be just a slogan as no practical steps were taken for the welfare of the people.
He said PML-N would not let them succeed in their nefarious designs. He expressed hope that the 2018 general elections would be held on schedule and his party would win with the majority votes.
He said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has categorically decided to face the courts, and that is why he left his ailing wife in the hospital and appeared before the court.
He added that Nawaz would emerge victorious in all the fabricated cases instituted against him by a ‘vested lobby’.
He said former PM and his family did nothing wrong, and he was sure that they would get a clean chit from the accountability court.
He criticised the opposition, especially PTI, for claiming that the ousted premier had left Pakistan to escape accountability in the references filed against him.
Muqam said that PML-N is strong in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and that it was now time to show PTI that KP’s public was with Nawaz, adding that people that have come out to show their support for former PM were doing that out of sheer loyalty. He said that PML-N workers live and die for their party leader.
“We are committed to the public and not to the opposition, he concluded.
