 “The PML-N will get nothing from such tactics and the ‘Takht-e-Lahore’ will see the power of the public on February 5,” he said.Image result for Qamar zaman kairaPPP Punjab President Qamar Zaman Kaira said the PPP will hold an enormous rally on February 5. The Sharif brothers should know that they will not be winning the general elections of 2018, instead will be in the Adiala jail before the elections, he said.

“Nowhere in the world are such negative tactics used in a democratic setup, but the Sharif brothers are using these because they think that the whole country is their personal fiefdom,” Kaira said.

 “It is a matter of shame for the ruling party that the banners and other hangings are being torn apart in various parts of the city,” he added.He said that unfortunately the Sharif brothers have learnt nothing from the past and are resorting to such poor tactics to malign the opposition. The former prime minister visited Karachi for a public gathering and the PPP-led Sindh government created no hurdles to affect his political activities, he said.

The Lahore administration at the behest of the Punjab government and Sharif brothers issued a conditional no-objection certificate (NOC) to the PPP for holding the public rally. The administration has imposed weird restrictions on the PPP including one that bars it from criticising state institutions like the army and the judiciary, said Kaira.

Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday reached Lahore and is personally monitoring the arrangements for the public gathering.
