Sheikhupura: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Javed Latif claimed on Sunday that the party had not entered into any alliances and would not engage in seat adjustments with other political parties in Punjab.

This statement comes in response to reports suggesting that the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) finalized a list of constituencies seeking endorsement from three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Speaking at a ceremony in his hometown, Latif expressed his belief that the PML-N has not experienced a fair political playing field, a term frequently discussed in light of the PTI's narrative. He added that justice for the party's leader was progressing slowly. Latif emphasized that anyone casting doubt on general elections was not sincere to Pakistan, asserting that Nawaz remains the last hope for the people.

Latif argued that every political party deserves a level playing field, except for those attacking sensitive installations, whom he labeled as terrorists rather than political entities.

Dismissing Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's statements, Latif stated that they do not take Bilawal seriously, pointing out that even Bilawal's father, Asif Ali Zardari, did not consider his son's statements seriously.

Contrary to Bilawal's ambitions of becoming Prime Minister, Latif asserted that the PML-N would respond when Mr. Zardari speaks up, noting that Zardari regularly refutes Bilawal. Latif advised the PPP to contest elections based on its performance, claiming that the party had damaged Sindh during its 15-year rule.

Despite Bilawal's consistent provocations, the Sharif brothers and Maryam Nawaz have remained silent, creating an impression that the PPP is not a significant contender. Bilawal's initial promise to form a government in Punjab and at the national level was hampered by the formation of IPP, as PTI defectors did not join the PPP.

Electables have been gravitating towards the PML-N, contrary to the PPP's expectations, which relied on electables after losing popular support during its 2008-13 tenure.
