People who won't stand by Sharif will ruin political career, says minister

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Maryam Aurangzeb on Saturday claimed that her party will secure most of the seats in today’s election for the upper house of the Parliament.

Speaking to the media, the minister claimed that former premier Nawaz Sharif would win the Senate election. In fact, she added, he would win all elections that will take place in the country with the blessings of Allah and support of the people.

She said he served the people of the country. Not a single charge of corruption was proved against him, she claimed.

Slamming PTI chief Imran Khan, the federal minister said he was levelling the allegations of horse-trading on his own party members. She said the PTI leader used to curse the parliament and his party didn’t give due respect to the institution.

She said the PML-N was being meted out unfair treatment as Nawaz Sharif was disqualified as its president and subsequently, it was deprived of its participation in the Senate polls.

Maryam claimed that the people of Pakistan were supporting Nawaz Sharif. The people who deserted him had to face embarrassment, she added.

She claimed that politicians who will not stand by him will ruin their political careers.
