Ahsan Iqbal in his speech challenged the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto to compare his hometown, Larkana with PMLN’s Narowal.

“I challenge Bilawal to compare the development in Larkana with Narowal, and if Larkana outperformed Narowal, I will quit politics, but if Narowal surpasses Larkana, Bhutto should consider leaving politics,” Ahsan Iqbal said.

He advised Bilawal to refrain from making baseless and unethical statements related to PML-N, and highlighted the PML-N’s contributions related to empowering youth by providing them laptops.
