PML-N Jalsa Lahore: Residents of PP-168 love Asad Khokhar: Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Friday said the residents of constituency PP-168 loved PML-N candidate, Asad Khokhar.

“The ones casting evil eye on Lahore should know that hey would have to return disappointed from here on July 17, God willing,” Maryam Nawaz said addressing a public gathering in Lahore, while campaigning for bye-polls in different districts of Punjab.

She said she felt sorry to say that Lahore had been orphan for the last four years. The Lahore which was visited by people from all over the country, would have been turned into ruins if the incompetent government would have stayed for one more year, she said.

“Alhamdulillah, Lahore has returned to the ones who would begin work to set more world records of development,” she said.

On Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s announcement of cutting petrol and diesel prices on Thursday night, she said, “I slept peacefully last night after petrol price reduced. We all were satisfied upon provision of relief to the masses.”

She lauded Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz for lifting offals from Lahore streets and arteries within 24 hours of slaughtering of animals, unlike last four years when offals remained in residential areas for several days.
