The participation of thousands of people, enthusiastic slogans in favour of the leadership and criticism of the former PTI government turned the event into a major political gathering.
Through the gathering, PML-N workers expressed their affiliation with the party leadership and their hopes for a peaceful, prosperous and brighter future for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Addressing the gathering, Federal Minister Engineer Amir Muqam said the PTI former chief minister used to say that he had not come to the government for development but to secure the release of PTI founder.
He claimed that mega corruption scandals during PTI Govt tenure exposed the poor governance and mal-administration of PTI rulers.
He said former CM was standing on container for political objectives and failed to deliver on all fronts.

The federal minister said the province had been left without effective governance for three months and people were continued to lift bodies on a daily basis due to PTI Govt’s ambigious and poor anti terrorism approach.
He said the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had rejected the politics of chaos as well as long marches and proved that they stood for peace and development. He said the emergency had been imposed to improve the province’s overall security situation and restore peace in restive 12 districts.
“The people of the province are welcoming the federal government’s measures including Governor Rule, and people across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have celebrated their relief from these incompetent rulers of PTI, that failed to eradicate terrorism” he said.
He alleged that PTI rulers have turned Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into ruins where no significant development works were carried out.
Engineer Amir Muqam said all relevant institutions would have to work together to ensure lasting peace and development in the province. He said restoration of peace, elimination of terrorism and development were the top priorities of new KP Govt.
The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Army, police, Frontier Corps and other law-enforcement agencies had rendered countless sacrifices in the fight against terrorism, he said, adding that the Govt, people and security forces were on the same page in the war against terrorism.
He said there should be no compromise on law and order in the province. The government and people stood with the Pakistan Army, police, FC and other law-enforcement agencies, and all necessary resources and facilities would be provided to them.
He said those involved in vandalism and damaging public and private properties would face action in accordance with the law.
The minister said resources would be utilized for the development and prosperity of the people, while effective measures would be taken to empower women and youth. Efforts would also be made to provide employment opportunities to young people.
He stressed the need to pull the province out of the darkness of despair and unrest and put it on the path of development.
He paid tribute to the brave martyrs who had sacrificed their lives in the war against terrorism.
Engineer Amir Muqam said special attention would be given to the longstanding problems of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whether related to education, health or quality of life in urban areas, as all these issues were directly linked to public security and lasting peace, although this aspect had remained neglected in the past.
He said complete elimination of the menace of terrorism and establishment of lasting peace were the shared objectives and top priorities of all state institutions, and no compromise would be made on these issues.
Engr Amir Muqam said special attention would be given to improving the quality of life of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, promoting socio-economic development and providing basic facilities in underdeveloped and affected areas.
All relevant institutions would continue their efforts through mutual cooperation and a coordinated strategy to achieve the shared objectives of peace, stability and development in the province, he added.
