LAHORE: State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali along with his father and senior PML-N leader from Faisalabad Chaudhry Sher Ali called on Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif here on Monday and discussed their complaints against the rival group led by Rana Sanaullah in the local polls in Faisalabad district.

The meeting had reportedly been arranged on the direction of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as Chaudhry Sher had publicly spoken even against the chief minister while blaming Law Minister Rana Sana for masterminding the killing of political rivals in Faisalabad.

Chaudhry Sher is a relative of Nawaz’s wife Begum Kulsoom.

The press release issued after the meeting did not divulge anything, however, sources said the CM assured Chaudhry Sher of resolution of all their complaints regarding local body polls.

Chaudhry Sher was quoted as expressing full confidence in the leadership of the prime minister and the chief minister. He said the PML-N was his own party and promised to respect every decision of the party leadership.

It exposed how the country is run. Like the Arab states, it is now a full family drama. The elections every five years are just eye wash and sheer waste of money . All posts, PM, CM, finance, foreign affairs, diplomats, top posts are all occupied by one family. The recent trip to US with an hidden begging bowl was also a family vacation trip on government expenses. We even saw one rising princess. This is called Democracy, made in USA, for USA.

@Mohammad Iqbal don't be upset with such things. PPP did not deliver and you know what has happened with it. Democracy has uprooted PPP's wicket. Now PTI will uproot the second wicket of PMLN if the latter does not deliver. It will be a tough match between these two parties in the next election and wait with patience, people's collective wisdom will not disappoint you. The country is very much on the right path and PMLN knows that people have an alternate available in the form of PTI. Similarly PTI now knows that by mere staging dherna or by leveling rigging charges, it is is not possible to achieve success.
