FAISALABAD, May 31 (NNI): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said that elections will be held in the country upon the arrival of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
Addressing a press conference in Faisalabad on Wednesday, Talal Chaudhry made it clear that the PML-N supremo will lead the party’s election campaign. In connection with the May 9 mayhem, Mr Chaudhry made it clear that the culprits should be brought to justice.
“No one will be given NRO under pressure. Many people are joining different parties. However, the PML-N’s bus is already full. We already have many prominent politicians and candidates in every constituency of Punjab,” Mr Chaudhry maintained.
He asserted, “The events that took place on May 9 did not happen in a day. But planning for the May 9 vandalism has been years in the making. The case of May 9 riots is a test for the state.”
He said Imran Khan was the main “architect” of the May 9 incidents in which military and state installations were attacked by his party workers following his arrest in a corruption case.
“This is a test case of the state, if there is no punishment, no one will be safe in the country,” Talal Chaudhary added.
He claimed that PTI activists attacked the sensitive buildings at the call and back of Imran Khan.
The PML-N leader said that PTI workers and supporters crushed Pakistan on May 9. “Now, propaganda is being done against the institutions to save the miscreants involved in the May 9 incidents,” he hinted. Even, women are being used as shields, Chaudhary hinted.
The former state minister regretted that the people were brainwashed and trained for the events of May 9. “If those who attacked the judicial complex were punished, the tragedy of May 9 would not have happened,” Talal bemoaned.
Taking a dig at Imran Khan, he said the PTI chairman has been granted bail in more than a dozen cases.
On Tuesday, PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz held a meeting with Australian High Commissioner Neil Hawkins to discuss matters of mutual interest.

In response, Australian High Commissioner Neil Hawkins congratulated Maryam Nawaz on her party post within the PML-N. He commended her on her new role and expressed his optimism for a productive collaboration between Pakistan and Australia.
Maryam Nawaz underscored the potential of bilateral trade to enhance the relationship between Pakistan and Australia. She highlighted that increased trade ties could lead to stronger bonds between the two nations.
