Maryam Nawaz kicks off PML-N election drive in Okara

PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz on Monday kicked off the PML-N’s much-awaited election campaign in Okara ahead of the February 8 polls.

After mounting criticism over the delay in its election strategy and ticket allocations, the PML-N will finally be unveiling its manifesto for the upcoming general elections scheceduled to take place on Feb 8.

Addressing party supporters in Okara PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, referring to the PTI, said that a ‘terrorist party’ cannot be allotted an electoral symbol.

“Sher [tiger] can be allotted sher, but a terrorist party cannot be allotted an election symbol like other political parties,” she added.

“Today, what is happening to the PTI is a result of their own actions,” Maryam said of the recent “hue and cry” directed towards party’s electoral symbol.

“You say your electoral symbol was ‘bat’, no, it was the danda [baton] that you had in your hand. The danda that you used against the state of Pakistan and the public,” Maryam added.

“There was a danda, not a bat, in your hands and the entire nation saw how you attacked military installations […] now say, what is your electoral symbol? It should have been the watch that you stole or the petrol bomb that you used against the police,” PML-N Chief Organiser added.

“Nawaz Sharif is planning for cheap electricity, cheap flour, cheap sugar, cheap vegetables, cheap medicines and improvement of roads,” she added.
