LAHORE – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice-President and Chief Organizer Maryam Nawaz rejected the rumors that party Supremo Nawaz Sharif was distancing himself from the politics.
Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, Maryam Nawaz said that refusing the offer of the prime ministry did not mean Nawaz Sharif was stepping back from the politics.
“There is no truth in the notion that Nawaz Sharif is distancing himself from politics. Over the next five years, not only will he actively participate in politics, but he will also lead his governments in the federation and Punjab,” she said.
Maryam Nawaz, the nominated candidate for the Punjab chief ministry from the PML-N, also said that the people had given a clear majority to Nawaz Sharif in all three governments.
“Those who are familiar with Nawaz Sharif’s principles know his stance. Shahbaz Sharif and I are his soldiers,” she said.
The PML-N Supremo also prayed, “We are bound by his orders and will work under his leadership and supervision. May Allah grant us success,”.
وزارت عظمیٰ کا عہدہ قبول نا کرنے کا مطلب اگر یہ اخذ کیا جا رہا ہے کہ نواز شریف سیاست سے کنارہ کش ہو رہے ہیں تو اس میں کوئی سچائی نہیں۔ اگلے ۵ سال وہ نا صرف بھرپور سیاست کریں گے بلکہ وفاق و پنجاب میں اپنی حکومتوں کی سرپرستی کریں گے انشاءاللّہ۔
