Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif told supporters at the rally in Lodhran that decisions are made by voters' thumbs not the umpires finger. He said he has come to the city to congratulate the people for recent victory of his party in the by-election against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) candidate Ali Tareen.
"You have proven that decisions are made by voters' thumbs not the umpire's finger," he said adding "You have restored the sanctity and respect of vote." Taking a jibe at the PTI chairman Imran Khan, he said "Ladla (favourite) said that he has taken decision to learn lesson from the Lodhran election. It's nation who will teach him a lesson."
Nawaz said his political opponents did nothing other than telling lies and hurling false allegations, whereas his party served the masses. "Ali Tareen said before election that they have already won the poll but only need to extend the lead," he said.
Earlier, CM Punjab told the crowd in Lodhran that the voters had dismissed the arrogance of PTI chairman Imran Khan with which he had claimed prior victory in NA-154 by-polls. The PML-N leaders are in Lodhran to thank locals for voting in the candidate fielded by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on NA-154. Preparations for the convention went on all night, as PML-N workers danced to the beat of drums in celebration of their leader's arrival.
The NA-154 constituency in Lodhran fell vacant after the disqualification of PTI former general secretary Jahangir Tareen in 2017 by the Supreme Court.
