LAHORE: The PML-N has planned to air-drop 600,000 pamphlets in NA-120 in connection with the campaign of its by-election candidate Begum Kulsoom Nawaz.

On Sunday, Maryam Nawaz, who has been running the campaign of her mother, intensified efforts to woo voters. In the morning she held a meeting with the party lawyers from the constituency and later held rallies in different union councils of the constituency.

Speaking on the occasion, she asked PML-N workers and supporters to vote for her mother. She said her father’s ouster was not an insult to him, but to his voters. She asked the voters to bury the politics of conspiracies by electing her mother.

Maryam again targeted the judiciary, establishment and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan. She asked the judges to give a verdict based on justice, saying the cases against her family had been reopened for some other reason.

National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider also urged the voters of NA-120 to elect Begum Kulsoom.

“The importance of this election is not less than that of 2018 polls as its result will determine the future course of politics in the country,” Haider said.
