Maryam Nawaz, the vice- president of the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz said that they could secure two seats in the recently concluded Gilgit-Baltistan election. She also claimed party supremo Nawaz Sharif would return to the country soon and become Pakistan’s prime Minister.
“Day is not far away when Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan and become the country’s prime minister for the fourth time; “ Maryam Nawaz said while addressing a public rally in Mansehra district of Hazara division. She said the she was not going to accept what she termed fake results of the Gilgit-Baltistan elections. She said people came out in droves to support the PML-N and the “tiger” (PML-N’s election symbol) was visible everywhere, as far as the eye could see “but we were deprived of our seats and the election was stolen”.
PML-N vice president, who is actually leading the party, said that the functioning of a 220-million strong country has been left in the hands of someone “who was not capable of even running a union council”.
She said Nawaz Sharif has deep rooted ties with Hazara and Mansehra claiming the deposed Prime Minister fulfilled all his promises to the people of the region. “Nawaz Sharif is paying the price of all that love he has shown to the masses,” she maintained.
Daughter of the former Prime Minister said as long as the incumbent government remains in power, the poor cannot run a household and they will not be able to obtain cheap medicine. “As long as the “fake” government is in power, prices of wheat and sugar will remain sky high”. Maryam said.
She said Prime Minister Imran Khan announced to provide affordable housing to the poor but not a single person could get a room even out of five million houses promised.
