‘PML-N failed to deliver during their tenure’

PTI vice chairman says they also did not fulfil their promise to end loadshedding

MULTAN: The previous Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government disappointed the people by failing to deliver during its five-year-long tenure, said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

He was addressing the media at the residence of the former deputy mayor Akhtar Bhutta on Thursday.

He expressed the hope that people will vote for his party by rejecting traditional politics in the upcoming general elections.

He said that they did not fulfil their promise to end loadshedding, he added. Commenting on the provincial government in Punjab, he claimed that PML-N had been in power since 2008 and had done nothing for the people.



About the book written by Reham Khan, he alleged that she was being used for political reasons. Responding to a query about PML-N’s decision that Maryam Nawaz would contest the election from Multan, he maintained that it was her right to contest the election from any constituency.

He revealed that he was willing to contest the elections from two constituencies of the National Assembly, NA-156 and NA-221, adding that if the party permitted him, he would also contest the elections from a constituency in the Punjab Assembly from Multan.

He rejected the claim that harsh words were exchanged between him and Jahangir Tareen.
