Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Ahsan Iqbal expressed optimism on Tuesday that his party will win the upcoming elections.

Speaking exclusively on Samaa TV, the former planning minister said: “The PML-N can say this simply that it will develop the entire country the way it uplifted Lahore. We have built three mass transit projects”.

He recalled the tenure of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), saying, “The biggest of all the challenges faced by the PDM was to save the country from default.’’

Iqbal slammed Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, saying, “What wonders the young leadership had done in Sindh. No single party had enjoyed a simple majority during the PDM’s tenure.”

He took a dig at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, asserting, “The country is witnessing stability as the PTI chairman is behind bars''.

– Follow right direction –

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Spokesperson Ikhtiar Wali Khan asked Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to follow the “right direction.’’

Hitting back at the former foreign minister, Ikhtiar said: “Bilawal is staging the public gatherings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in a bid to portray himself as busy. It is better for Bilawal to show his concern about the situation in Sindh rather than having fun in KP.’’

He said, “Bilawal had remained an admirer of Shehbaz Sharif during the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) government”.
