Nation supported PML-N in by-polls despite all conspiracies: Nawaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday has thanked the nation for supporting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in by-election despite all the conspiracies.
Talking to media outside the accountability court, Nawaz Sharif said that PML-N has won Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf‘s (PTI) seats. By-election results are indicative of the time to come, he predicted.
