Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has said the future of millions of people in the country was linked to the Feb 8 elections and termed a recent report by Transparency International that corruption went down in PMLN-led PDM government.
At a press conference in Lahore, he lamented that corruption allegations were hurled at the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif in 2013. “But, god willing, no one could prove these accusations.”
In his statement, he said during the tenure of Nawaz Sharif in 2013 there was a huge amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Pakistan.
During his news conference, Shabaz Sharif said that Pakistan is always prosperous during the government of Nawaz Sharif, adding that, PMLN’s projects were for the well-being of the general public.
