PML-N will steer country out of quagmire

Earlier, the PML-N while speaking to media in Lahore, senior leader Rana Sanaullah said that his party will steer the country out of the crisis.

Sanaullah said, “We have been engaged in contacts for the sake of strengthening the party in South Punjab for the general elections. The PML-N had won 34 out of 46 seats from South Punjab in 2013’’.

‘’Makhdoom Syed Samiul Hasan Gilani and Syed Mobeen Ahmed will become the PML-N strength in South Punjab,’’ the former interior minister said.

He asserted, ‘’The PML-N will address the country’s problems after emerging victorious from Punjab and other provinces’’.

Recalling the PML-N’s past contributions, Sanaullah said: “The PML-N, under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, conducted two nuclear blasts during this difficult time’’.

He said: ‘’The PML-N had also overcame the challenge posed by terrorism in 2013 as the terrorists were expanded to Swat’’.

Hitting out at Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, she said, ‘’We do not want to respond to Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari in the latter’s style. Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari should keep in mind that he is the chairman of the party.’’

‘’If toppling the PTI’s government was the mistake of Khursheed Shah, then he suddenly realised it after 16 months,’’ Sanaullah said.

He took a jibe at the PTI chief, saying, ‘’The PTI chief did not want to see the establishment as neutral’’.

"The statements that Khawar Maneka made during his interview are, as far as I know, right," said the former interior minister.
