‘IG of liars’ Imran, Zardari to face election defeat: Shahbaz

BUREWALA/LAHORE: Describing PTI Chairman Imran Khan and PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari as the “IG of liars”, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said they would be defeated in the upcoming general elections.

“This big gathering of the people is witness to the fact that the political jugglers, Zardaris and the king of lies will be defeated badly in the next elections,” he said.

“Khan and Zardari did nothing for their provinces. They can’t even show their faces in the provinces where they have their government,” he said and he added that they wanted to halt progress in Punjab through strike calls and sit-ins. Shahbaz said Imran and Zardari had left no stone unturned to wreck the dreams of the people because they did not want to see the dreams of Iqbal and Jinnah materialised.

He was addressing a large rally at Burewala on Thursday, as thousands of PML-N workers and supporters welcomed him.

The chief minister said Zardari should bring back the wealth looted from the country before accusing others of corruption. “They have ruined Karachi as there is garbage everywhere and broken roads are adding to the public miseries,” he said. “If we get a chance, we will make Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta another Lahore,” he promised. Referring to the PML-N’s recent surprise win in NA-154 by-election, the chief minister said Jahangir Tareen had spent billions, yet Allah handed over the victory to a candidate who roamed among the people, not in helicopters.
