ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday said the re-election of Nawaz Sharif as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) head strengthened the notion that the real power rests with the political parties and the leaders as representatives of people.
In his address at the gathering of PML-N workers in Islamabad, the prime minister stressed that a political leader lives in the hearts of people who is neither made through legislation nor can be removed through court verdicts.
Terming political parties as source of strength for their workers, Abbasi said it was the same strength which made a backbencher like him a Country’s premier.
Khaqan said also felicitated Nawaz Sharif on becoming PML-N head, and said he was proud of his 30-year-old affiliation with the party, recalling his presence even on the occasion when Nawaz Sharif took charge as the party Chairman for the first time.
The minister said re-election of Nawaz Sharif as president of PML-N was a historic milestone, and expressed confidence that people would endorse this mandate once again in the next general election after June 2018.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said in next eight months, his government would complete the unfinished agenda of Nawaz Sharif and his manifesto.
Moreover, he said the scale of development projects launched by Nawaz Sharif during his government was unmatchable with the combined eight-year rule of dictator and the five-year government of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
The prime minister said it was an open challenge for the critics appearing on television channels to compare the massive development work carried out by the PML-N with that done by dictators and PPP.
