Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah said on Thursday that his party will clinch over 100 seats from Punjab in the upcoming elections, slated to happen on February 8.
Speaking to Samaa TV, the former interior minister said his party wants to take everybody on board after the forthcoming elections.
He fired a broadside at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, saying, ‘’The things would have been better for the PTI founder if he intended to take the opposition on board. The way the PTI founder wanted to run the country was impossible.’’
Sanaullah blamed the PTI founder for the woes faced by the country. ‘’The risk of default was not created during the 16-month tenure of the PDM. We did not create the situation of inflation in the country, but it was propaganda. ‘’
He claimed that his party was still having its vote bank in Lahore, saying, ‘’The PML-N will win the elections from the entire Lahore, with the exception of the maximum of the two seats. Whether the voters believe in this point or not, it will be cleared on February 8.’’
Sanaullah claimed: ‘’The PPP is funding some of the candidates. The independent candidates are having contacts with the PPP.’’
Speaking about the intraparty elections, ‘’It is the responsibility of every political party to hold the intraparty elections correctly,’’ Sanaullah said.
He admitted that the political parties of the country lack democracy.
Recalling the events that transpired on May 9, Sanaullah said, ‘’The fact is that the PTI is still standing where it was standing on May 9. Permission should be given to the Taliban if they want a level playing field to contest the elections’’.
