Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal has said that Daniyal Uzair was in the race for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket internally and that the PML-N leadership did not trust him.
On the occasion of the inauguration of the election hall in Narowal NA-75, Iqbal said that the party leadership was not in favour of giving ticket to Aziz in the 2013 elections, but “I argued for 20 minutes that Daniyal Aziz guaranteed loyalty.”
He said that Aziz accused the PML-N of inflation and held “me responsible for it, although the inflation was due to the PTI's (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s) IMF programme, but Daniyal Aziz made the PTI happy by holding a news conference against us”.

He said that Aziz held news conferences against “me and campaigns on social media”. Iqbal alleged that Aziz was in the race for the PTI ticket internally but when the PTI did not intervene, he reached to get the ticket on the last day and did not even apply for the ticket in the same cycle.
Iqbal said that on Feb 8, Shakargarh and the entire country would achieve great success. “I started politics in 1990 from Shakargarh city. Up to 7,000 students are studying in three universities of Narowal.”
