LAHORE: Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz has said that the only solution to Pakistan’s problems lies in fresh, free and fair elections.

Speaking at a ceremony here on Saturday, the PML-N leader said as long as there was no civilian supremacy the country couldn’t move forward.

“Imran Khan is a fake prime minister as he has come to power through rigged polls. He is a liar. He is a player and played with the nation,” he alleged and added that the result of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa local government election was a trailer and when free and fair general polls were held the people would throw him out of Banigala.

Hamza asked Imran Khan to stop playing “mafia, mafia” as nothing was a bigger mafia than the premier and his team. “I don’t hate Imran Khan. I am bitter about him because he has deceived the people, making their lives miserable,” he added.

He said the PML-N would make Imran Khan accountable for his deeds. He also questioned why Kalabagh Dam had not been built, who was responsible for this. “In coming days there will be shortage of water in Pakistan,” he said and added Imran Khan was only good at putting plaques on the projects of PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif.
