GUJRANWALA: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Friday that rulers were violating the Supreme Court's order by refusing to write a letter to the Swiss government.

Addressing a public meeting in Wazirabad, he said looters of public exchequer would not be spared and they would be dragged on roads after his party's victory in the coming elections.

Mr Sharif said the rulers were trying to conceal corruption cases and illegal money by exploiting the name of Benazir Bhutto. “If people supported us, we'll drag Zardari on the roads of Lahore, Karachi and Larkana.”

He said the politicians who had been changing loyalties since the Ayub era and were involved in the killing of innocent children in Lal Masjid during the Musharraf regime could not bring about revolution. The chief minister said that a cardiology centre would start working in Wazirabad during the current year.

MNA Iftikhar Ahmed Cheema said people of the area would not accept an alliance of the PML-N with PML-Q (Likeminded) chairman Hamid Nasir Chattha.
