Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Punjab president Ejaz Chaudhry said on Tuesday his party’s rally at Minto Park had silenced its critics.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, he said the public had rejected the rulers. Chaudhry said it had left the leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stunned. He said the people had rejected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and endorsed PTI chief Imran Khan as their leader.
Chaudhry said the rally amounted to a referendum against the government. He said Lahore had ceased being a bastion of the PML-N as Lahoris had abandoned the party. Chaudhry said the government had come into power by stealing the public’s mandate. He said it had lost whatever little moral authority it had enjoyed. Chaudhry said increasing power cuts, price hikes, unemployment and corruption had made people’s lives miserable. Chaudhry said the national economy was in a poor shape and the country’s indebtedness was increasing. He said the government had failed to provide electricity despite the payment of circular debt. Chaudhry said the government had brought Pakistan to the brink of an abyss. He said the Go Nawaz Go slogan had gone viral.

They don't have any answer or the roadmap. It is only a game being played with the emotions and anger of the common men. Governance of NS may be very poor but the same is applicable in KP also where Ik is at the helm.
