Says those who ruled the province for 10 years have petrol bombs in their manifesto
ABBOTTABAD (Web Desk/Dunya News) – PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz on Saturday asked the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to exercise their right to vote judiciously, saying their ballot would decide the province’s future.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif shared the party manifesto with the nation earlier in the day and he had never any claim that he could not fulfil, she said.
The three-time prime minister had already planned how to reduce the electricity and food prices, she said, as people in Pakistan are facing an unprecedented cost of living crisis amid a persistent inflation.
