Commenting on Nawaz Sharif, he said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has made a request to the former prime minister for leading the election campaign.

Rana Sanaullah said Nawaz Sharif should be given relief from the cases filed against him by rival party leaders on fake evidence.

He said political cases filed by rival parties should be abolished forthwith and added the PML-N, after winning the elections will nominate Nawaz Sharif for the country's highest post of prime minister.

To a question about Dr Aafia Siddiqui, he said all-out efforts were being made to bring Dr Aafia back to Pakistan.
