PTI-govt 'planned rigging' but 'miserably failed': Maryam Nawaz

PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz on Sunday said that the incumbent government planned rigging through police and the administration but it  'miserably failed' in the by-elections.

Addressing media in Jati Umra before leaving for Daska, the PML-N leader said that she was going to greet the people of Daska. 

She further said that with the pieces of evidence coming forward, "the real face of the PTI-led regime has been revealed."

She added: "These people should clearly know their position, the people of our four provinces of Pakistan have rejected them."

The PML-N leader said that the government had revealed through Daska polls how these people were imposed on the masses in back 2018.

Maryam Nawaz will visit the house of PML-N leader Nausheen Iftikhar in Daska and will also extend her condolences to the families of the youth who died during the recently-held by-elections.
