MULTAN: Pakistan Muslim League-N leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has said that he wants to do politics of the country instead of a constituency and he has no interest in contesting elections.

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, he said that he had submitted his nomination papers on the direction of the party leadership.

Also, Hashmi added, Javed Ali Shah, the PML-N candidate in NA-158, informed him that he would have no constituency if he (Hashmi) would contest election from the same constituency.

He said that people should vote candidates on the basis of their performance only.
