The nomination papers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif for NA-68 Sargodha and of former Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif for PP-247 Jampur were accepted by the Election Commission of Pakistan on Saturday, Express News reported.

Two applications were filed against Nawaz's nomination papers. In the first application, petitioner Sohail Malik contended that the PML-N chief should be disqualified for his involvement in the Asghar Khan case.

The second application against Nawaz was filed by Afshan Ameer, who contended that the PML-N chief was illegally occupying a property (No. S-58-R-49).

Meanwhile, petitioner Afzal Azeem Pahat sought the disqualification of Shahbaz Sharif on the grounds that the latter is ‘mentally unstable’.

However, Nawaz Sharif’s nomination papers for NA-119 were accepted by the ECP.

All conspiracies to keep the Sharifs away from electoral process are thwarted one by one and those hatching these conspiracies are bound to bite the dust.

Pakistani nation has seen the development performed by PML-N govt (Motorways, Int'l Airports, gwadar port, nuclear power, JF7 thunder aircraft, ghazi Barotha dam are legendary examples) of 1990s and Shahbaz Sharif's tenure giving encouraging news in the form of Daanish schools, IT labs in 4000 schools, distribution of 215000 laptops to meritorious students, free medicines for poor patients, construction of state-of-the-art hospitals in various cities, infrastructure development and most successful Metro Bus.

All these achievements have been acknowledged by the governments of China and Turkey. Transparency International has audited and declared all these projects free of any corruption. Pakistan desperately needs such good governance. PML-N will win the elections with thumping majority InshaAllah.

Don't waste your vote. Vote for PML-N !

Sharif Brothers are role model for Islamic history according to the PCO court system. All rightwing leaders including Sharif and IK never committed any act against Sharia and had exemplary lives for all Muslims. If you don't believe me ask court certification that they have.
