NAROWAL: PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal warned Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to behave and be careful in selection of words against his leader (Nawaz Sharif) during public speeches.

Addressing a public gathering in NA-75 (Shakargarh), he said: “An under-19 player is attacking my leader. Your father used to say that he was still training you. Watch your language.”

Further warning Bilawal, the PML-N leader said: “If you do not amend your tone, we also know how to answer.” He advised the PPP chairman to get training in politics.

Accepting Bilawal’s challenge of debate on better governance, Iqbal said uplift of Narowal should be compared with Larkana. If Narowal is least developed than Larkana, then I will leave politics. And if the infrastructure of Larkana is poor than Narowal, then you should leave politics.”

He said the PML-N would win with a huge majority in next election.
