PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal has advised PTI leaders to stop the mudslinging campaign and focus their attention and energies on serving people as the country requires national unity at this time, APP reports.

“PTI has a track record of instigating chaos and blaming others for involvement in electoral rigging”, he said while talking to a private news channel outside the National Assembly.

He said the PTI founder would not get a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), adding that, “he must demonstrate his innocence in court.” Iqbal also emphasised political stability, which he termed vital for achieving economic stability in the country.

To strive for economic stability, all differences must be set aside, he said, adding that there is a need for mutual unity for political and economic stability in the country.

Replying to a question, he said in the past, the PML-N had set a shining example of economic progress and stability and that it would take concrete and practical steps to further improve the economy.

“The era of Mian Nawaz Sharif was a golden era of progress and prosperity. Under the visionary leadership of Nawaz, we will tread the path of happiness and progress for the country”, he concluded.
