‘Dams will be PML-N’s priority’
LAHORE: PML-N leader Khwaja Saad Rafique has said the construction of dams will be the top priority of his party if it comes to power after July 25 elections.
Speaking at a gathering of the party workers here on Tuesday, Mr Rafique said the people should vote for the PML-N so that Shahbaz Sharif could become prime minister and resume the development work from where he left it.
“The PML-N has no confrontation with the army and the judiciary. However, it (PML-N) rejects (court) decision against Nawaz Sharif,” he said.
Mr Rafique said if the PML-N returned to power it would take the opposition along while taking major decisions.
He lashed out at PTI chairman Imran Khan for creating hurdles for the PML-N government.
“Imran Khan had not worked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where he had the government. He also created hurdles for the PML-N government in the centre and wasted its one-and-a-half years by staging sit-ins. Had we been allowed to work for full five years, we would have delivered more,” he said, deploring that the PML-N was also targeted in the name of religion.
He said the PTI had become a party of turncoats and it could not fool the people in the name of change.
