Maryam Nawaz, senior vice president and chief organizer for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) hassaid that the party was ready for the election and that everyone involved in politics needed a level playing field to ensure the legitimacy of the results.
Speaking to a gathering of workers at the al-Fateh Sports Complex, she urged them not to be alarmed by the approaching election. They ought to be prepared to deal with it as courageous political workers. No one would accept the results of elections held without fair accountability, she continued. She claimed that Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan’s development were intertwined. Pakistan experienced a severe electricity shortage in 2013, but Nawaz Sharif worked hard and provided electricity to not only the houses but also to the factories.
She said that everything was sailing smoothly but a deep rooted conspiracy was hatched and Nawaz Sharif was removed from the political scene. She said that the perpetrators of conspiracy were now themselves confessing to their guilt and one after another was exposing the elements who were involved in this conspiracy.
She also quoted a common joke that when three thieves were caught red handed, each was naming others who also acted as facilitator.
She further said that the establishment had also realized the impact of this conspiracy and had disassociated itself from the conspirators.
She further said that the facilitators of Imran Khan were now skipping from the country one after another.
She appreciated the political vision of people of Faisalabad and termed it as a “cash cow of the country”.
She said that in Nawaz Sharif era the political meetings of Faisalabad were considered as the trend setter and decision maker in the political affairs of the country.
Maryam Nawaz said that this workers’ convention would also play a decisive role in the national politics.
She said that in 2013 when Nawaz Sharif came into power, the country was in acute shortage of electricity but he worked hard and the nation witnessed zero load-shedding in this mega industrial city. It also gave a quick start to the industrial production but this process of growth was derailed through a conspiracy hatched by Imran Khan, she added.
The PML-N Senior Vice President said that nation also witnessed that development of Pakistan and Nawaz Sharif were interlinked but he was disqualified on a frivolous allegation of not receiving salary from his son.
She said that it was for the first time in the history of Pakistan that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced to provide free wheat flour to the people during the holy month of Ramazan.
She said that such people-friendly decision could be taken by the patriotic politician and not by watch-thief.
She said that Hamza Shehbaz announced to provide free electricity to the people. It was Imran Khan who went to the court and on his plea this facility was withdrawn, she added.
She asked the people to recognize their enemy who himself was neither working for the welfare, nor allowed others to do so.
She said that Imran was a true “Fitna” and she was rightly dubbing him exploiter for his anti-democracy and anti-people stance.
The Chief Organiser said that developing Pakistan faced a deep decline when Nawaz Sharif was deseated.
She said that development process was totally wrapped up with this decision as it was not anti Nawaz Sharif decision but it was anti poor and anti Pakistan step which deprived the country from speedy progress and prosperity.
She said that Imran Khan was responsible of the current economic scenario as he was the person who inked agreement with the IMF.
She said that the conspirators of this drama had committed a crime and nation would never forgive their generations.
She said that Imran Khan was clamped on the nation whose vision was just only eggs, hens, cars and calves.
She said that a jackal could not be a leader. She termed Imran as coward and said that he had deputed women for his protection.
She said that Nawaz Sharif was a true leader. He proudly faced the prison along with his daughter but he never used his workers as a shield.
She said that Imran used his plastered leg as a tool to avoid from appearing in court but he was never hesitating in attending the public meeting. She termed him as a hypocrite and said that 7:20, he declared that he was not afraid of death but after just one minute he took refuge under a bed to avoid arrest.
She said that it was Nawaz Sharif who faced the international pressure at the time of atomic explosions. If there was a leader like Imran Khan, Pakistan may not be an atomic power, she added.
She expressed condolence over the death of PTI worker and said that it was very strange that Imran Khan invited his father to visit his palace so that he could condole with him.
She said that he was treating the worker as his personal slaves. His sons were enjoying luxurious life in London but he was directing the workers to come on the roads only to protect him.
She said that PTI workers should rethink their attitude that why they should be used to conceal the theft of Imran Khan.
Maryam Nawaz said that Nawaz Sharif had entrusted his case to the court of Allah Almighty and now one after another conspirators were themselves confessing about their role in the conspiracy.
She said that Imran Khan was the first prime minister who was involved in stealing wrist watch.
She asked from the workers that if a person was not ready to spare the wrist watch, how he could behave in other such matters.
She said that he was dubbing others thieves but now his theft had been exposed publically. He was not only himself involved in theft but his wife was also involved in malpractices who was demanding a ring of 5 karat diamond for signing of any file.
She said that Imran Khan had concealed foreign funding and his daughter whereas Nawaz Sharif had experience of 14-month prison on frivolous allegations.
She assured the workers that “In Sha Allah”, Nawaz Sharif would come and the days of progress and prosperity would also return back to the country.
Federal Minister for Information & Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb, Federal Interior Minister Rana Sana Ullah Khan, PMLN central leaders Talal Chaudhry, Abid Sher Ali, Uzma Bukhari, Hajji Akram Ansari, MNA Shehbaz Babar, MNA Rajab Ali Baloch and others were also present in convention.
