LAHORE
Central leader of Pakistan Muslim League-N and Member National Assembly Hamza Shehbaz said it had been better if Imran Khan would have contested the election against PML-N candidate Ayyaz Sadiq on October 11, but he had made a joke with the nation by nominating such a person who was linked with Qabza Group and had got written off loan through a plea bargain from the NAB.
While talking to the media after a meeting of union councils coordinators of NA-122, Hamza Shahbaz said the people of this constituency and Lahore loved Mian Nawaz Sharif and Sardar Ayyaz Sadiq would win election on October 11 with more majority than before. He said that Jehangir Tarin of the PTI had got written off loan of crores of rupees during Musharraf era. He said the documentary proofs were available against Jehangir Tarin and Abdul Aleem. He said the people’s court would give best decision in bye-election and the conscious people would cast their vote in favour of the PML-N.
Replying to a question, Hamza Shahbaz said the present government had taken solid steps for putting the country on the road of progress and prosperity and making Karachi a haven and did not accept any pressure in this regard. He said the winning election was not our target, but our target was to strengthen the country on internal and external fronts. He said that our competition was with those handful persons who were doing politics of chaos and caused delay in bringing investment of 46 billion dollars by launching civil disobedience movement and wasted precious time of the country and the nation for 126 days o sit-ins.
Hamza Shahbaz said now the price of oil was at the lowest level and the foreign exchange reserves had reached 20 billion dollars. He said the projects for overcoming energy crisis were under completion in Sahiwal, Bahawalpur and Bhikhi. He said that terrorism was being eliminated through operation Zarb-e-Azb. He said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif defended Kashmir issue in an excellent and comprehensive address at the general assembly of the UN upon which the entire nation deserved congratulation.
Replying to another question, Hamza said that PML-N candidate Sardar Ayyaz Sadiq was a symbol of decency and honesty. He said the PML-N imbued with public service spirit would win bye-election with thumping majority and the journey of development and prosperity would be continued. Kh. Ahmed Hassan, Pervaiz Malik, Kh. Imran Nazir, party candidates, Secretary Information Lahore Imran Ali Goraya and assembly members were also present while a strategy with regard to bye-election of October 11 was discussed in detail in the meeting of candidates for chairmen, vice-chairmen and UC coordinators of union councils of NA-122.
