Can’t wait to see Imran lose: Saad Rafique

Author: News Desk

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique said on Sunday that his opponent from NA-131, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan will lose badly against him in Lahore.

The PML-N leader was addressing a gathering in Lahore, where he said that PTI Chief Imran Khan would not even know “who thrashed him in NA-131”.

“The well-educated, sincere and patriotic voter of defense is with us. The people of the constituency will not vote for a political stranger,” Khawaja Saad Rafique said.

While mocking the political rival party, the former federal minister said that the party failed to gather even 200 people at the initiation of the election campaign.

“Imran’s political campaign inauguration failed not only in Lahore, but Mianwali and Islamabad as well,” Rafique said.

The PML-N leader said that those who defeated terrorism and loadshedding will build dams as well.

Rafique expressed hope that the caretaker government will take notice of rigging and use of force in the election and ensure transparency.

Imran Khan and Rafique will face-off during the July 25 election for NA-131 in Lahore. Khan will be contesting for five seats: NA-35 Bannu, NA-53 Islamabad-II, NA-95 Mianwali-I, NA-131 Lahore-IX and NA-243 Karachi.

Khan will not be contesting the election from Rawalpindi this time.
