Former three-time prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif took aim at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government\u2019s promises during an electrifying election rally in Faisalabad on Friday.
\nSharif questioned the fulfillment of PTI\u2019s pledges, particularly regarding housing and employment, while emphasising PML-N\u2019s commitment to delivering on its promises.
\nIn a fiery address to the crowd, Sharif directly challenged PTI\u2019s track record, asking if anyone had received one of the promised five million houses or if unemployment had significantly decreased as pledged. \u201cPTI promised 5 million houses. Has anyone got a house? Any person present in this meeting should raise his hand who has found a house? We are not billion tree people, we do what we say,\u201d declared Sharif, referring to PTI\u2019s flagship project, the \u2018Billion Tree Tsunami.\u2019
\nSharif\u2019s rhetoric underscored his skepticism towards PTI\u2019s governance, contrasting it with PML-N\u2019s purported reliability in delivering on its commitments. He rallied support from the youth, asserting that the real youth of the country stood with PML-N.
\n\u201cThey say this youth is with someone else, no, this youth is with PML-N,\u201d he asserted, taking a veiled swipe at PTI founder Imran Khan.
\nThe former prime minister also criticised PTI\u2019s failure to address unemployment, highlighting the need for job creation.
\nHe directed a message to his younger brother, Shehbaz Sharif, urging him to prioritise employment during his tenure. \u201cAfter five years, no one should be seen unemployed here. Shehbaz Sahib, you only launched the metro bus project here, there should not only be a metro bus but also an orange line bus,\u201d he remarked.
\nSharif further pledged to improve the country\u2019s infrastructure, promising to expand motorways and reduce the cost of essential commodities upon returning to power. He vowed, \u201cEven if you say no, we will make more [motorways]\u2026 after coming to power we\u2019ll make bread, gas, petrol, sugar, and flour cheaper.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, Senior Vice President of PML-N, Maryam Nawaz, echoed Sharif\u2019s sentiments, emphasising the party\u2019s focus on service and performance rather than engaging in mudslinging politics.
\nShe praised the achievements of PML-N and criticised PTI\u2019s tactics, stating, \u201cPML-N does not contest misbehavior, does not respond to misbehavior, it does not abuse, does not politicise accusations, does not call anyone a thief\u2026 in fact, it competes in service.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
