PML-N supermo Nawaz Sharif has said that the country’s poverty and unemployment issues will be eliminated if he secures victory in the upcoming Feb 8 general elections.

“If my government had not been dismissed, not one person here would have been unemployed,” said Nawaz.

“Had my government remained, people would have been satisfied; they would have been able to make ends meet, unlike today,” he added.

Addressing the youth of Pakistan, he assured them that he will once again build motorways, universities and hospitals across Pakistan, in addition to tackling unemployment and poverty in the country.
