PML-N to form govt in Punjab in January: Sardar Ayaz Sadiq

LAHORE, Dec 25 (SABAH): Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq claimed on Sunday the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will form its government in Punjab in January.

Addressing a public gathering in Tajpura, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said that his party supremo Mian Nawaz Sharif will soon return to the country to get it out of all the crises.  He claimed his party will claim majority in the next general elections.

Comparing the PML-N’s top brass to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Sadiq said that the party leaders know how to respect others, unlike Khan, who frequently used foul language toward his political opponents.

Underscoring the country’s economic crisis, Sadiq took a dig at the deposed premier [Imran Khan], saying that he [Imran] made an agreement with the IMF that created the economic crisis in the country. He went on to say that during Khan’s tenure, when there was a pressing need to raise commodity prices, he did not do so, adding that he [Imran] knew he was going to be deposed and that the new government would be saddled with the burden of the current crises.
