PML-N will not tolerate any bid to 'engineer' elections: Nawaz


Deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif said on Tuesday his party will not accept at any cost the efforts being made to ‘engineer’ the upcoming general elections.

“The nation will not accept these things; the PML-N won’t accept these things at any cost,” the party’s supremo said while talking to reporters in London.

Nawaz questioned ECP’s decision to deploy soldiers inside polling stations. “I don’t understand the logic of sending [the troops] inside the polling booths,” he said.

Reiterating that a campaign against the PML-N is ongoing, Nawaz asked who was behind the candidates contesting the elections with the symbol of jeep. “Our candidates were forced to change their loyalties and election symbol.”

Putting our names on ECL last ditch effort to bar us from returning home: Maryam

    If I were at Nawaz Sharif’s place, I would have resigned at the time of PANAMA declaration. He would have become hero and contested the current election and would have won with a thumbing majority. Now he had lost every thing and would soon be in jail for some time.He is corrupt in the eyes of the world. God may save Pakistan.Recommend
