“Only a serious command with a vision can lead the nation,” he said, adding that the public would give their decision in favour of those who took steps for their welfare in the 2018 election. He regretted the attitude of some politicians who were constantly involved in mud-slinging and said such people were bringing negativity to the society.

Nawaz Sharif that during his present tenure, the country had experienced a visible change in terms of strong economy, improved law and order and reduced load-shedding of electricity,” he said.
