SHEIKHUPURA/LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz President Shehbaz Sharif and Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz, speaking at different places, claimed on Friday the country would run in the right direction only if the PMLN supremo Nawaz Sharif was elected as the prime minister of Pakistan again.

He recalled that during the tenure of Nawaz Sharif, the prices of sugar were Rs52 per kg and petrol was sold for Rs105 per litre.

He credited his elder brother and three-time premier Nawaz Sharif for addressing the issue of power outages, saying, “The country was witnessing 20-hour load-shedding. But due to sincere efforts of Nawaz Sharif, the issue was addressed successfully.” He urged people to elect Nawaz Sharif with a thumping majority in the upcoming elections so that the country could be rid of inflation and other problems at the earliest.
