Opponents are afraid of Nawaz Sharif's popularity

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz said on Saturday that democratic leaders always ensure provision of rights to people.

She was addressing a ceremony held in connection with restoration of lease of land for 1,087 families of Hindu camp.

She said that former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif took personal interest in ensuring ownership rights to the affected people.

Maryam Nawaz said that opponents were afraid of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif's popularity and alliances were being formed and dissolved against him.

Those who could not see the faces of each other were sitting together today, she added.

She said that disqualification of Nawaz Sharif had strengthened him further, adding that Imran Khan repeatedly told lies in the court.

The PML-N leader said that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was disqualified only over an "Iqama" after thorough scrutiny of three generations of Sharif family.

She said that former prime minister fulfilled the promise of eliminating terrorism and overcoming electricity loadshedding and establishing a roads and motorways network in the country.

Maryam Nawaz said that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif worked day and night for progress and prosperity of the country.

"The biggest strength of a leader is people," she said adding that Nawaz Sharif just focused on the development of the country.

"Will you extend full support to Nawaz Sharif's Tehreek-e-Adl," Maryam asked the audience.

She said that opponents were not popular enough to defeat the PML-N in elections, and by the grace of Allah Almighty, the PML-N would win the 2018 general elections.
