“The solution for your problems is only one, and the name of it is Nawaz Sharif,” said Maryam, adding that it had been the PML-N government which made Yasinabad into a district, but it was not given its fair share by the incumbent government in Islamabad.
Maryam Nawaz said the government’s ship was sinking, it will now only see people getting off it and not on it.

Maryam added that no one had done what Nawaz Sharif did for the Diamer and Bhasha dams till date. She assured the gathering of PML-N members taking up the issue of jobs in parliament, adding that she will also raise her voice for the victims.
“PML-N is the only solution to the problems of the people,” maintained the party’s vice president as she urged them to vote the party’s candidates.
