Shehbaz calls for taking all provinces onboard during Karachi visit

Says all stakeholders will have to work collectively for democracy to progress

KARACHI:

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif stressed on Sunday to take all provinces onboard, respect them and ensure equal access of resources for all them  

His remarks came as he addressed the media in Karachi alongside Balochistan National Party-Mengal chief Akhtar Mengal, whom he met to offer condolences on the death of his father, Sardar Ataullah Mengal.

The PML-N president further stated that all stakeholders would have to move forward collectively for democracy to progress.

Speaking about the late nationalist leader, Shehbaz said that history will remember Sardar Ataullah Mengal in golden words.

Recalling that many democratic governments were toppled using the Article 58 2(b), he highlighted that late Ataullah Mengal had a crucial role to play in abolishing it.

The PML-N leader opined that the Quaid-e-Azam's dream would only materialise if all provinces were taken onboard.

A day earlier, while addressing a convention of the party’s activists in Sialkot, Shehbaz said the party’s victory in the cantonment board elections was no mere feat and it meant the end of PTI’s politics.

“There is no denying the fact that the cantonment board elections took place without any interference,” the opposition leader in the National Assembly said.

“The majority of Punjab voted for the PML-N. The PTI died at its birthplace,” he added.

“Next time, the general elections will have to be held in a transparent manner without any rigging.”

Shehbaz warned that if the polls were not held in a free and fair manner, his party would pursue legal action as per its right.
