TAXILA: The disgruntled PML-N leader and former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said he would contest the general election from four constituencies.

Addressing party workers at Wah Cantonment, he said he wanted to contest the election from two National Assembly and as many provincial assembly seats.

The former minister said he would contest from Taxila and Wah and would not leave the people of the area at the mercy of those who changed their loyalties in every election.

He said the area would be brought on par with the developed ones and all missing facilities would be provided through mega projects.

Ch Nisar said his association with the people of the area spanned over many decades and would honour his commitment to the people of the area whether in power or in opposition.
