Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid said on Monday that the landslide victory of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate in NA-19 Haripur by-polls has validated party’s success in 2013 general elections.
The minister, in a statement, said Babar Nawaz’s victory was manifestation of the people’s confidence in the PML-N government, while Imran Khan’s claims of “pride of performance” were mere verbal.
The people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have punished PTI chief Imran Khan for telling lies and misleading the youth, he said. Reminding the PTI allegations about the 2013 elections, he said that there were no caretaker set-ups, ROs (returning officers) in NA-19 Haripur, neither a victory speech by Nawaz Sharif nor ballot papers from the Urdu Bazar printing press, then why did the PTI candidate suffer a humiliating defeat.
