The event was held at Aiwan-i-Iqbal.
The speakers said the party would foil attempts aimed at usurping the public’s mandate. They said Khan was creating anarchy in the country to hide the failure of his Azadi March.
They said the people of Pakistan would protect democracy with their lives. They said it was time to discard agitational politics and focus on national development.
National Assembly Member Pervaiz Malik said the party had never taken reckless decisions and had always upheld the supremacy of the Constitution. He said the idea of a progressive and peaceful Pakistan was an anathema to those participating in protest demonstrations and marches. Malik said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had already dealt with some of Khan’s substantial demands by announcing the constitution of a Supreme Court commission to probe into his allegations. He said it was unfortunate that Khan was sticking to his undemocratic demands.
Adviser to Chief Minister (CM) Khwaja Ahmed Hassaan said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ruled ‘the hearts and the minds of the public.’ He said the few people who had been conspiring to hold the country hostage should realise that the public was standing behind the prime minister. Hassaan said the PML-N had never taken any unconstitutional steps and would not allow anyone to do so.
Adviser to Chief Minister on Health, Khawaja Salman Rafique said some people had been destabilising the country at the behest of foreign powers. Rafique said the PML-N would foil their conspiracies.
Khawaja Imran Nazir said Khan celebrated during the day and retired to Banni Gala during the night leaving PTI workers to their own devices. He said Khan had been provoking PTI workers to the detriment of the country.
Jamia Naeemia patron-in-chief Maulana Raghib Naeemi said Pakistan needed a stable and mature democratic tradition and no one would be allowed to derail democracy.
Two resolutions supporting the party and its mandate were unanimously adopted at the event.

No wonder, love is blind, dumb and deaf!
Dear Prime minister,
Please do not resign, the nation needs you as Leader :)
Imran used the dirtiest language against Nawaz Sharif but I appreciate Nawaz Sharif who listened all that with patience. Imran has proved that he is an uneducated man. He can never be accepted as Prime Minister. It is a great blessing of Allah that a man like Imran Khan is not Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Nawaz Sharif should continue his struggle for the prosperity of Pakistan. Haters will continue their hate. Allah save dear Nawaz Sharif from the hate of haters. Allah save Nawaz Sharif from the jealousy of the jealous persons.
There is no doubt that NS rule peoples hearts and minds. He is the only ray of hope for Pakistan. I voted for him alongwith my family and class fellows and we stand behind him. He is a real hero.
All my best prayers for respected Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif is the only hope and best man in politics at the moment.
Now some one should inform these law makers that why was NS so afraid of having thumb verification in the 4 constituencies IK was demanding initially more than a year ago. Was he afraid of the outcome which he knew very well. If elections were rigged then his mandate is illegitimate. It is simple as that.
IK, Qadri have no policies. They have mishmash of things, completely lost. Our country needs a leader who is serious, who can make tough decisions. IK is not capable, Qadri is a joker he need to leave the country and it's Neve supporters.
Apparently Imran will have to go home empty handed or Marshal law would be imposed. There is no reason why Nawaz should be sacked. He is going a good job. Not a perfect leader but he has potential to take the country to the next century. Imran is too emotional to be given Prime Ministership
Nawaz Sharif is the most legitimate and democratically elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. His presence as Prime Minister of Pakistan inspires lot of hope and confidence for peace and economic development in the region. He has shown tremendous amount of patience and political maturity in handling the unruly and undemocratic agitation launched by Imran Khan. It will be a great relief for the world community if Imran Khan calls off his agitation and wait till the next elections are held in Pakestan.
Sheikh Rashid has ruined the noble politics of Imran Khan.
