KARACHI: PML-N President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif on Monday said that all political parties must be provided a level playing field and PDM demanded fair elections to form people's government.

Answering a question about PML-N workers and people of Pakistan want which form of political struggle, Shehbaz Sharif answered: "We want only fair elections and there was no need of any reconciliatory or aggressive politics."

He said he had not seen that establishment had supported a government this much. Despite the establishment's support, the incompetent government did not take any benefit from that.

Shehbaz Sharif visited Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's mausoleum in Karachi and offered fateha to pay tribute to the founding 'Father of the Nation'.

He said that Nawaz Sharif was his leader and he would remain his leader. Shehbaz Sharif alleged that the incumbent government did not come from people's votes. Pakistan could regain its lost glory with honesty and hard work.

Talking to media person, Shehbaz Sharif said that Quaid-e-Azam wanted to see Pakistan as a welfare state, and poet of the East Allama Muhammad Iqbal presented the idea of the state of Pakistan through his poetry.

"Standing at the Mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah after passage of 74 years since Independence, we feel shame that as a nation we did not follow the path of the great Quaid and Pakistan broke into two and even then we did not learn his message," he added.

Just visited the Mazar-e-Quaid to offer Fateha, it is always a humbling experience to be at the Mazar of a great leader who shaped the course of history through his selfless dedication and singularity of purpose. I draw my inspiration from his lofty struggle.

Shehbaz Sharif said, "We support Afghan dialogue and it is up to the people of Afghanistan to choose their government."
