Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that the public wanted politicians to work for them instead of fighting amongst each other.

Addressing Punjab MPAs today, she said: “The poor are looking towards us. What will they say if these people see us fighting and not doing anything for them?”

CM Maryam said all serious-minded political parties except one whom Bilawal termed as “cartoons” want to take the country out of crisis. “The problems are so serious and intense that no party can solve them alone.”
