The AL chief tweeted: “Despite having their prime minister, chief minister and Election Commission of Pakistan, they (coalition government) lost Punjab by-election. Now Imran Khan will trample them (during by-poll) on 9 National Assembly seats. It doesn’t matter anymore whether Nawaz Sharif is coming or not. Through their stupid and ignorant policy of washing dirty linen in media, they reveal everything to everybody.”
“The government is in a state of confusion and panic. 62 ministers are in fact political dead bodies who only play the media. The revenge politics of these people will take democracy to a terrible end. Nothing will be gained by this mudslinging. 10 crore people are in the grip of poverty and inflation. I will address the public from Lal Haveli tonight at 11 o'clock”.
