In a veiled response to political rival Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-N Senior Vice-President and Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz has said that parties with empty rhetoric are resorting to the blame game.
The remark comes a day after the Nawaz-led party’s answer to the Pakistan People’s Party chairman’s fiery speeches, which have intensified with every passing day towards February 8 elections. Bilawal has been targeting his political rivals, especially the PML-N.
Maryam, while addressing a public gathering in Lahore’s NA-119 on Thursday said that all the political parties except for PML-N have done nothing.
“I am not one of those as their service to the masses. “A person [present] in Punjab is saying that Nawaz Sharif hasn’t given the [party] manifesto. Nawaz Sharif will give the manifesto in the next few days,” she added. The PML-N stalwart further said that she’s aware that she has to serve the people of the constituency.
The politician then promised the masses that she’ll have an active office in the constituency after she wins the elections, to resolve the people’s issues and complaints.
Maryam urged the people to think carefully before giving their vote as the vote decides the future of Pakistan. Separately, PML-N President and former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif in his address to a rally in Mandi Bahauddin, also took a jibe at Bilawal without naming him, saying that someone said they would release the political prisoners if they come into power. “I suggest them to announce the abolition of personal prisons as well,” Shehbaz said, adding that his brother Nawaz, who is a three-time former prime minister, would establish a modern university in the city if he is given a chance.
