Nawaz may call for boycott a week before polls: PTI

Author: News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar Monday said that it seems former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will call for boycott a week before the July 25 elections.

Speaking to media at Morha Sharif shrine, he said that Pakistan’s economy is under pressure due to the flawed policies of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, adding that if given chance after the coming elections, PTI would resolve water crisis in Islamabad on urgent basis.

The PTI leader said that his party won’t strike any deal with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) to form government. “The way things are going it looks like Almighty Allah wants to take an important task from Imran Khan,” he added.

During his visit, Asad Umar requested shrine’s caretaker to do special prayers for his win in the forthcoming election.

Meanwhile, Geo News reported citing sources that Nawaz and Maryam plan to return to Pakistan in a week. The decision to return to Pakistan was made after a consultation with senior leaders of the PML-N as well as pressure from some party workers, sources disclosed.
