Addressing a reception, hosted by Railways Minister Khwaja Saad
Rafique and Punjab Minister Khwaja Salman Rafique in honour of the newly elected provincial ministers, mayors and deputy mayors here on Friday, he said: “It is a duty of politicians to play their role in the assemblies.

confrontation. He said that political parties were going through
evolutionary process, adding that the PML N leadership never tells
lies to the public.

and our leader is a humble person.” He said that Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) should learn from its failures, adding that people had rejected the politics of indecent language.
The minister welcomed Asif Ali Zardari and hoped that he would
train Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to be humble in dealing with people
as well as other parties.
He said that all parties should work for the betterment of the country
as people would give votes only on the basis of their performance.
“With the grace of Allah Almighty, political stability would prevail in
the country,” he said adding that all institutions in the country were working within their constitutional limits.
Saad Rafique said that newly elected mayors, deputy mayors, district
chairmen and vice chairmen were ambassadors of the PML N and hoped that they would perform
in the best way for betterment of the people.
Provincial Minister Khwaja Salman Rafique said that the PML N was
making sincere efforts to come up to the expectations of people.

the fruits of the hard work and the determination with which the government was working for
bringing development and prosperity in the country,” he added.
