“As a worker of Nawaz Sharif, I will stand with him in this fight,” he said while addressing party workers in Lahore.

“There was no inflation during the tenure of Nawaz but in 2018, historical rigging and manipulated elections took place which deprived the public of progress and happiness,” he added, as per The Express Tribune.
