PML-N nominee for prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has said President Arif Alvi is once again violating the Constitution by not summoning the National Assembly session.

Addressing the PML-N’s parliamentary meeting, he slammed the PTI for its “hypocrisy” and questioned that if the February 8 general elections were rigged how did the PTI win polls in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“Nothing like this was ever seen in the history of Pakistan,” Shehbaz said. “To bring the country out of crisis, we will need to make a lot of sacrifices.”

The PML-N president then presented a resolution, which stated that the party expressed confidence in Nawaz and paid tribute to the PML-N supremo. It also vowed to work for the country under the leadership of Nawaz.
