PML-N the only solution to nation’s problems: Abbasi

Says his government toiled to improve the country’s economy

RAWALPINDI: Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had served the people with devotion during its five years tenure and launched many development projects across the country, including Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa (K-P), without any discrimination.

Addressing a public gathering in Kallar Syedan he said that PML-N is the only party, which can solve the problems of the people.  Abbasi said that he has closely observed all the political parties and does not think any of them to be against the interests of Pakistan but “these political parties do not have the intentions, eligibility and experience to address the issues of the people.”



He said that the PML-N had taken measures for the better future of the country during its last government. It had resolved major problems of the country, including power shortage, terrorism, restoration of peace in Karachi, strengthening national economy and provision of modern transport facility to the people.

Abbasi said the PML-N would win the upcoming general election with majority due to its government's performance as there was not a single corruption case registered against the party leadership.

He said that democracy was the only solution for resolving the national problems and all political parties should play their role in strengthening the democratic system.

“The people would decide on the election day that who would rule the country,” he said.   Abbasi said that the PML-N had always put the country on the path of development whenever it came into power. He urged the people to vote that political party during next general elections who had worked for their betterment. "We solved the nation's problems, we improved the employment situation. Jobs aren't created by big claims or false promises," the Abbasi said.

On June 22, Abbasi challenged the rejection of his nomination papers from the NA-53 constituency. The returning officer had dismissed his nomination papers as he failed to mention the development work done under his constituency.



However, Tahir Mahmood Abbasi filed the former PM’s appeal in the election tribunal, citing the omission as an unintentional mistake. He said that the former premier is ready to correct the mistake in his nomination papers.

Abbasi will contest the elections from NA-53 on PML-N’s tickets as well as his home constituency of NA-57 Murree, which has also been challenged in the Rawalpindi appellate tribunal. –APP
