Summary The ex-Punjab CM says Imran Khan is in habit of telling lies day and night.
BHALWAL (Dunya News) – Former Punjab CM and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has shown apathy in former PM Nawaz Sharif’s case.
Addressing a rally in Bhalwal on Monday, he said that the PML-N supremo was not returning to Pakistan for himself, but the masses, adding that the party workers will give rousing welcome to the ex-PM.
Shehbaz said that Nawaz Sharif’s wife Begum Kulsoom Nawaz is fighting for her life in London but the NAB didn’t postpone Avenfield reference decision.
“The PML-N supremo made Pakistan a nuclear power and rejected then US president’s cash offer,” he said.
“The former premier eradicated loadshedding from the country,” he said and added that Nawaz Sharif signed China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project with China.
Launching a tirade against PTI chairman, ex-Punjab CM said that Imran Khan is in habit of telling lies day and night.
He further said that Nawaz Sharif decreased the cost of fertilizers and tube wells. “We installed CT-Scan machines in hospitals across Punjab,” Shehbaz added.
Earlier, the PML-N president chaired a meeting at party’s Model Town secretariat and decided to give a rousing welcome to former premier Nawaz Sharif and his daughter, Maryam Nawaz, upon their arrival at the Lahore airport on July 13 from London.
Shehbaz said that father and daughter were returning to Pakistan on July 13 for the sake of country, adding that the duo would be given a historic welcome.
He asked the party leaders and workers to motivate people to reach the Lahore airport. “Expressing our resentment against the accountability court’s verdict in a peaceful manner is our right,” he said.
“We won’t tolerate maltreatment against any of workers. PML-N is contesting general elections on the basis of its performance showed during last five years tenure.”
The former Punjab chief minister directed party candidates to highlight Nawaz Sharif’s issue during the public gatherings.
PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb asked workers to show solidarity with Nawaz Sharif and Maryam. She also urged them to remain peaceful and calm.
She said Nawaz Sharif decided to return to the country despite knowing the fact he would be arrested.
“Nawaz Sharif turned Pakistan into an atomic power, strengthened the infrastructure and launched CPEC to bolster the economy,” she added.
