12 Jul, 2018

Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif has warned the interim Punjab government in yet another tirade that after his party wins the upcoming general elections, the party will take them to court for targeting its workers.

Addressing the media in Lahore on Thursday, the former Punjab Chief Minister and younger brother of deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif warned the interim Punjab government that time does not remain the same. He added that they will hold the interim government responsible for their treatment with PML-N workers.

He termed the arrest of more than 100 PML-N workers as 'naked poll rigging'. The former CM further said that doors of the homes of their workers were broken in order to arrest them. Shehbaz alleged that on one hand Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan was being allowed to hold rallies in Lahore, they were being victimized.

He said that PML-N will hold a peaceful rally tomorrow to receive Nawaz and his daughter Maryam Nawaz in Lahore. He refuted reports that the flight of Nawaz and Maryam has been canceled.
