Independent MPA Jugnu Mohsin joins PML-N

Lahore: Jugnu Mohsin, an independent MPA and wife of former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi, on Friday officially announced joining Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

Jugnu Mohsin made the announcement while speaking to a joint presser along with the Leader of the Opposition in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab and Vice President Pakistan Muslim League (N) Punjab chapter Hamza Shehbaz.

She said she was thankful to the former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and party president Shehbaz Sharif for welcoming her in the party. 

She said she had a close association with both Nawaz and Shehbaz and had been in touch with the party’s high command. “PML-N president has always supported and encouraged me,” she added.

Jugnu Mohsin said that PM Imran Khan has lost the moral legitimacy to run the government and the country. "Clearly, Imran Khan has no majority in the House,” she added.

On the other hand, Hamza Shehbaz said no one can measure the adverse effect being exerted by the Premier on the country’s foreign policy, adding that Imran Khan is mocking a nuclear-equipped Pakistan.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader further stated that a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan is a ‘democratic move’.

While taking a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, Hamza Shehbaz said that Imran Khan is basically a fascist person.

“Former Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz had been detained, however, now they cannot use the same tactics to make us feel terrified.

While lashing out at the Premier, Hamza said that Imran Khan is responsible for rising inflation, unemployment and poverty in the country.

Previously on March 26, Jugnu Mohsin had announced her intentions to join PML-N, adding, “PMLN supremo Nawaz Sharif is the real voice for protecting the freedom of expression and freedom of journalists in the country.”

“I and my husband Najam Sethi have fought for the freedom of the press and public rights,” she said.

She further added that Nawaz Sharif is the only leader who is the real representative of the people.
