Addressing a workers’ convention in Matiari here, the PML-N senior leader said that Nawaz Sharif will land in Lahore on October 21 and the entire Sindh will reach Punjab’s provincial capital to welcome the PML-N supremo.
“PML-N will give tough time to Sindh in upcoming general elections and will form next government,” he said, adding that the PML-N supremo, president and other senior leadership would visit Sindh for the election campaign. “PPP has ruined Sindh in the past 15 years,” Zubair Umar said, adding that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif can proudly claim to turn Karachi into Lahore but when Bilawal says to turn Lahore into Karachi people will take it as a joke.
