Addressing a public meeting in GB, Maryam Nawaz again urged the party workers to siege the turncoats and asked the youth to stand up for their rights. “How can those who can’t stand up to pressure and stand for their rights do the same for you,” she added.

“Let Nawaz Sharif and PML-N serve the nation,” Maryam Nawaz said, adding that only her party could give provincial status to Gilgit-Baltistan.

She said that only the masses has the right to elect or sent the governments home. ” Today’s meeting proved that PML-N will clean sweep in the polls,” Maryam claimed.

The PML-N criticized the incumbent government over inflation, the country’s rising debt and other issues.
