ABBOTTABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief organiser Maryam Nawaz on Saturday said if the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa voted her party to power, it would change the nation’s destiny.

“It is up to you to change the destiny of your province by vote. If you elect us, we will develop it like Punjab,” the PML-N leader told an election rally here.

She urged the people, especially youth, to vote for the PML-N for their development.

Ms Maryam said the manifesto of the PML-N was not just a piece of paper and instead, it highlighted the party’s achievements.

Without naming the Pakistan Peoples Party, she said a party, which ruled the Sindh province for the last 15 years, should update people about the conditions of the local schools, which had become cattle farms.

In a veiled reference to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, the PML-N leader said a political party used the youth to carry out violent attacks on government buildings and military installations on May 9 last year.

She said after coming to power, the PML-N would reduce the prices of essential commodities, especially wheat flour and sugar, as well as electricity rate and would steer the country out of economic and other crises with Nawaz Sharif being the prime minister.

PML-N central leaders Pervez Rasheed and Mariam Aurangzeb and party’s election candidates were also present on the occasion.
