LAHORE: Minister for Railways, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Sunday said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) was destined to win the election NA-122 by-poll as people would vote for real change and not the hollow slogans.
Addressing a public gathering at National Bank Colony Samanabad, here, he said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan's roadshow politics had damaged the country's economy.
He said Imran had alleged that May 11, 2013 general elections were rigged but the findings of judicial commission proved the PTI chief wrong.
Rafique said that PML-N leadership had faced jails and cases but they always stood with the people as the masses loved and supported them but Imran had never made any contribution towards democracy.
He said the PTI chief wanted to derail democracy and system but the people of the country had rejected the politics of protests and sit-ins, adding they would elect their representative on the basis of performance and character of the candidate.
Saad Rafique said the government had initiated an operation against target killers, extortionists and criminals in Karachi after consultation with all political parties to ensure peace and law and order in the city. (APP)
