JHELUM: PML-N founder Nawaz Sharif said that there was no difference between Karachi and Peshawar as for as development work was concerned.

“Situation in Peshawar is no different from that of Karachi, where roads are badly broken,” Sharif told a large gathering of supporters at Jhelum on Monday.

“I traveled to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by motorway for five hours, but I could not find any naya Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he said, adding there was no development work anywhere in the province.

He invited people from Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan to come to Lahore and Punjab and see the real development.

“Come to Lahore and Punjab. You won’t believe your eyes. Shehbaz Sharif has worked so hard here,” he said.

Calling Imran Khan a hypocrite, he said that PTI leader used to say that he can never joint hands with Asif Ali Zardari. But he did and voted for arrow in the Senate’s elections.”

Mr Sharif said that Imran Khan cannot compete with his party. “How can a jackal even challenge a lion These are cowards who run away after making allegations.”

He regretted that no sincere Prime Minister could ever complete his term in Pakistan. “Our next 70 years are going to be better from our past 70 years,” he said.

Urging the youth to respect their vote, he said that the next election would be a referendum.
