Saad slams Imran for taking U-turn on important issues

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan over what he called unfair allotment of party tickets and taking u-turn on important issues. While addressing a gathering in Lahore as a part of election campaign, Saad said Imran is not the leader of youth. He (Imran) should tell public how many youngsters have been awarded with party tickets, he added.
Under the leadership of Imran Khan, tickets are available for people like Firdous Ashiq Awan and Nazar Gondal and only votes are for the youth, he added.
Saad claimed that the PML-N government worked for the betterment of people.
"We had promised to overcome load-shedding and terrorism, and initiating development work in 2013. Now there is peace in the country including Karachi. Load-shedding has been reduced as over 10,000MW of electricity was produced while huge developmental work was initiated during our tenure," he said.
He said the PML-N is approaching the people in 2018 elections on the basis of its performance and we are optimistic that the PML-N will win the elections.
"We will not opt for the revenge policy and carry forward the agenda of development and the country's progress," he said. Moreover, as per details of assets submitted by Saad Rafique in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), he owns assets worth Rs 178.413 million.
