Shehbaz reacts to Bilawal’s debate challenge to Nawaz

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reacted to Pakistan Peoples’Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s invitation to former three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for pre-election open debate.

Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, Shehbaz Sharif without mentioning Bilawal Bhutto’s name said that “Yesterday, a gentleman invited Nawaz Sharif for a debate. It would have been better if he had invited Nawaz Sharif for an inspection of Sindh instead of a debate; there would have been both debate and comparison,”.

کل ایک صاحب نے نواز شریف کو مناظرے کی دعوت دی۔ وہ نواز شریف کو مناظرے کے بجائے سندھ کے معائنے کی دعوت دیتے تو اچھا تھا، مناظرہ بھی ہو جاتا اور موازنہ بھی

Globally, Presidential and Prime Ministerial candidates participate in televised debates, providing voters with crucial insights into their plans. This transparency is vital for an informed electorate ahead of the voting process,”.
