LAHORE: The PPP has taken on the PML-N, saying that except two roads in Lahore the rest of the city is dirtier than Karachi.

Responding to Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s comment on Karachi’s garbage, PPP Punjab President Qamar Zaman Kaira asked Shahbaz to pay attention to whole Lahore and not only two roads leading to his family’s residences.

“Most of the Lahore is unclean and the people are suffering from hepatitis,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

Mr Kaira said PML-N ministers were making a lot of money through corruption while the party leadership was involved in mega corruption ­– Panamagate.

“The PML-N was looting the country in the 1990s and laundering the money while at the same time its leadership was levelling baseless corruption charges against Benazir,” he alleged, saying the people would not let the Sharifs succeed in establishing a kingdom in the country.

PPP Information Secretary Chaudhry Manzoor said the farmers, labourers and working class would reject the PML-N in 2018 election.
