LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) got one more seat in the National Assembly, three more seats in Punjab Assembly and two more in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Saturday.
In this regard, the newly-elected members of the assembly met PMLN President and Prime Minister-designate Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday.
Rashid Akbar Niwani, who won the election as an independent candidate from National Assembly constituency NA-92 Bhakkar, Ahmad Nawaz Niwani from PP-90 Bhakkar, Amir Inayat Shahani, who won from PP-92 and PP-93 Bhakkar, met the PMLN president.
From KP Assembly, Hisham Inamullah Khan from PK-106 and Malik Tariq Awan from PK-82 also announced joining the PMLN. The members also met Shehbaz Sharif while KP PMLN President Engineer Ameer Muqam and Sardar Awais Khan Leghari were also present.
On Friday, Akbar Hayat Hiraj from PP-205 Khanewal and Asghar Hayat Hiraj from PP-212 Khanewal announced joining the PMLN.
Shehbaz welcomed and congratulated those joining his party. The new entrants in the PMLN expressed full confidence in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif. They said Nawaz Sharif was the only person who could get Pakistan out of trouble. They said political instability was not in the interest of the country. They claimed that they had decided to join the PMLN in consultation with the people and supporters of their constituencies.
While talking to the newly joining MPs-elect, Shehbaz said economic threats required everyone to work together for Pakistan, adding that the PMLN had saved the country from default earlier and that was still its priority. Shehbaz said those whose agenda was chaos were still spreading chaos. He added that Nawaz Sharif was not concerned about himself and his politics; he always wanted to protect the interests of Pakistan and its people.
“We are trying to save Pakistan from any new trouble and crises,” Shehbaz said and maintained the PMLN wanted development of KPK. He concluded that terrorism could be controlled only through development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
