PML-N has delivered on 'its promises'
Addressing a public gathering in Chota Lahore, District Swabi, Muqam said that the government saved Pakistan from default, ensured economic stability, and is now leading the country towards economic growth and prosperity.
He added that, by the grace of Allah, inflation, which soared to 40 per cent during PTI's tenure, has now been brought down to four per cent.
He credited Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif with providing relief to the people by reducing inflation.
He emphasized that Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, and PML-N prioritized the nation's welfare over political considerations, rescuing Pakistan and its people from economic disaster.
He accused PTI of ruining the economy, embezzling £190 million, and selling expensive foreign gifts in the market for personal profit.
He further stated that in 2013, Nawaz Sharif eliminated load-shedding and terrorism from the country, but PTI's tenure brought back both the menaces.
He added that from 2013 to 2018, Nawaz Sharif maintained record-low inflation and achieved highest development rates.
He accused PTI of introducing a tsunami of corruption in Pakistan and K-P, questioning what change had come to the province after 11 years of PTI rule.
He said that while PTI leaders prospered, the people of K-P continued to suffer. Despite changing three chief ministers, PTI only benefited its close allies, leaving the province's people neglected.
He claimed that if PML-N had governed K-P, its youth would have received laptops, motorcycles, quality education, and job opportunities just like Punjab.
He further stated that under PML-N, the poor in K-P would have received financial aid to build homes under the Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar program. Farmers would have been issued Kisan Cards, allowing them to benefit like their counterparts in Punjab.
Muqam stated that only Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz talk about public service and development.
