MULTAN, Feb 05 (APP): Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sana Ullah Khan on Sunday said that Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) would win elections and form a government in Punjab.

While addressing the workers’ convention here, Rana Sana Ullah stated there was propaganda that PML N was afraid of contesting elections.

The minister categorically rejected the said propaganda and anticipated the PML(N) victory in Punjab’s elections whenever they were held.

“Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has always delivered and it would continue to serve the people with the same spirit in the future also,” said Sanaullah.

He recalled the country made matchless progress during past governments of the PML(N).

“The whole world witnessed that Pakistan was heading towards the journey of achieving the status of Asian Tiger in terms of progress during the PML N previous regimes,” he said.

“The PML(N), under the leadership of the then prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif rejected the external pressure and conducted five nuclear tests,” adding the PML N government also abolished the menace of terrorism from the country alongside load-shedding.

The minister criticized the PTI leadership for “creating troubles”.

The minister said, “In 2014, PTI staged protest demonstrations and tried to stop the journey of progress and prosperity. Imran Khan is following the politics of agitation in the shape of long marches, sealing Islamabad on the pretext of a date for elections.”
