"Incompetent and incapable government has made the common man's life miserable. Investment is decreasing, there is no national development and the dollar is at a sky-high price."
"We are united not for us, but for Pakistan and the people. People have expectations from the opposition," said the PML-N leader.
PML-N vice president Hamza Shehbaz was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after the provincial opposition leader’s bail plea was rejected by the Lahore High Court (LHC).
