Will not rest until Pakistan becomes stable: Nawaz

Former PM zeroes in on country’s youth, claims young people rallying behind PML-N

GUJRANWALA:

Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid Nawaz Sharif on Saturday declared his unyielding commitment to stabilising Pakistan, vowing not to rest until the nation overcame economic challenges.

Zeroing in on the youth – a demographic often viewed as the PTI's voter base – Nawaz confidently claimed the young people of Pakistan were rallying behind the PML-N.

"We will not rest until Pakistan becomes stable. We will not rest until we don’t bring back the lights in homes, eradicate poverty and unemployment, and build schools, hospitals, and motorways. We will fulfil the promises made by my brother Shehbaz Sharif,” he said while addressing a rally in Gujranwala.

The former prime minister expressed his concerns regarding the negative narrative propagated on social media.
"Some individuals create a storm of negativity on social media, claiming that the youth is with them. However, the real youth of Pakistan is the one standing with us,” he added.

A rapturous welcome by Gujranwala!! This is called popularity among the people. Mian sb is the BOSS!!

On his previous term as the prime minister, Nawaz remarked: "During my tenure, the prices of commodities such as motorcycles, tractors, gas, flour, petrol, sugar and other items were lower. Look at the prices now; injustice has been imposed on the people."

A day earlier, the PML-N supremo had also addressed the young demographic while jibing the PTI, saying that the country’s “real youth” stands behind his party, besides the “mummy-daddy ones”.

“Some people say the youth supports someone else. But no, youth, not the mummy-daddy ones, are with the PML-N. The real Pakistani youth. That’s why Nawaz Sharif loves you,” the former prime minister told a rally in Faisalabad on Friday.

‘Viral disease eliminated permanently’

In an apparent reference to former prime minister Imran Khan, PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz, during her address, stated that a “viral disease” was causing significant harm to Pakistan but that had been eradicated now forever.

She said that the “viral disease” had plagued Pakistan for the past five to seven years, causing extensive damage, but it had now been eliminated permanently.

She mentioned that Gujranwala was the first to defeat this viral disease, saying that the ones who had initiated the long march had fled from Gujranwala.

Maryam highlighted that promises of five million houses were made, but not a single house was constructed.
"If Nawaz Sharif had promised five million houses, he would have definitely deliver,” she claimed.
She concluded by urging to end the politics of revenge and to embark on a journey of progress.
