LAHORE, Sept 21: PML-N candidate from NA-120 Malik Muhammad Pervaiz says the people of Lahore will bury the politics of turncoats on the day of polls.

Speaking at an election-related meeting in his constituency, he said more than half the members of the king’s party had been elected to assemblies because of Mian Nawaz Sharif and Mian Shahbaz Sharif.

About his rival Mian Muhammad Ashraf, Pervaiz Malik said he had nothing to do with politics nor was he aware of people’s problems.

He said his opponent was taking part in the elections because of the government’s patronage. — Staff Reporter
