Former federal interior minister and senior PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah has said that they will not allow the accused of the May 9 tragedy to contest elections.
Addressing the workers during the party meeting on Thursday, Sanaullah said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had become a victim of his arrogance and was now saying that he was not allowed to contest the election, while he was also demanding an apology for contesting the election.
“There is no law in the world that you commit a crime and then become an amnesty seeker for contesting elections.”
He said that those who committed the crime of May 9 tragedy must be held accountable and “we will not allow the accused involved in the incident to contest the election”.
The PML-N leader said, “Our aim is to take Pakistan out of the economic and political crisis under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif.”
Sanaullah said that Nawaz would return to the country on Oct 21 and address the nation at the Minar-i-Pakistan. “With his return, Pakistan will start a new journey of development.”
