ISLAMABAD: Taking a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) defectors, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz lauded PML-N leaders and workers for ‘standing by party in tough times’. Addressing PML-N’s Central General Council here, Maryam Nawaz commended Nawaz Sharif’s patience and moral values, stating that he never incited chaos or unrest, but instead acted as teacher and role model for nation.

She said that former prime minister never compromised on national interests. “That’s reason, party stood with Nawaz Sharif in difficult times,” she said, adding that no one held press conferences or left party. “PML-N has shown unwavering patience and perseverance in face of most challenging problems, including political victimisation that resulted in several top party leaders being incarcerated,” she added.

Maryam lauded government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, highlighting its “Achievement” of steering country away from brink of default despite inheriting severe economic hurdles.

She praised “Resilience and determination” demonstrated by PM Shehbaz and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in reviving economy and setting Pakistan on path toward prosperity. She emphasised that Shehbaz never made any decision without consulting Nawaz Sharif.

Earlier, all central office-bearers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz including its President Shehbaz Sharif were “re-elected” for another four-year term without having any contest. Besides Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz has been elected unopposed as PML-N Chief Organiser, Ahsan Iqbal as Secretary General, Marriyum Aurangzeb as Secretary of Information, Ataullah Tarar as Deputy Secretary and Ishaq Dar as Secretary Finance.
