Yesterday, the PML-N leader had urged the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) to think about Pakistan and reconsider its alliance with the PTI government, which was destroying the country’s economy.

He had said this while speaking with the media following a meeting with MQM-P Deputy Convener Amir Khan and other party members, who called on him in Lahore on Tuesday.

Shehbaz had maintained that the people’s lives had become miserable due to inflation, additional taxes, rising electricity and gas prices.

He had claimed that the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had initiated projects worth billions of rupees for Karachi.
