District convention : PML-N inaugurates office in Dera Ismail Khan

Amir Muqam says parliamentary board will award assembly tickets.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) inaugurated its district office on Wednesday. 

At a district workers convention, party activists including Amir Muqam, Rehmat Salam Khattak, Farid Toofaan Khattak, Iqbal Zafar Jhagra, Pir Sabir Shah, MPA Sanaullah Masti Khel, MPA Syeda Batool Nasar, Raja Akhtar Ali, Nahim Wazir and Rehan Malik addressed workers.

PML-N Senior Vice President Amir Muqam said the party is united under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, maintaining that seat adjustments for the upcoming general elections would be done after taking party workers into confidence.



Muqam further added the party’s parliamentary board would select candidates and award election tickets on the basis of merit in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P). He stressed the coming elections were indicative of change because the general public was looking towards the PML-N to help the county out of a state of terrorism, sectarianism and lawlessness.

Sabir Shah also said Pakistan is passing through a difficult time, calling on workers to vote for the party.

“The people of Karak have the first right to natural gas and then residents of other southern districts of K-P, but clerics are giving illegal gas connections to people from other areas,” said Jhagra. He added the Pakistan Peoples Party and Awami National Party’s coalition government had kept southern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa backward in terms of development work.

Farid Khattak told workers the party was adjusting seats in partnership with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl. He said the present government, which had given the country nothing but deteriorating law and order along with unemployment, would no longer be in power.

Despite continuous rainfall in DI Khan, PML-N supporters attended the event to listen to the leaders speak.
