Cantonment board elections turn out to be the death of PTI's politics: Shehbaz
Sialkot: The cantonment board elections turned out to be the death of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf politics, said Pakistan Muslim League-nawaz president Mian Shahbaz Sharif said Saturday.

Addressing party workers at Sialkot convention, he said the cantonment board was the place where PTI was born, and now it had lost the elections there, indicating the death of its politics and the graveyard.
Shahbaz said the party had received amximum votes from Punjab as majority of voters sided with PML-N candidates. "PTI is installing its plaques on the projects of PML-N," he said.
"People have voted for PML-N in line with their conscience, in response to the PTI's policies," he said, adding in the last three years, people had been burdened with surging inflation.
"There is no doubt that there was no interference in cantonment board elections," Shahbaz said, claiming that people were recalling the time of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif when medicines were provided for free in hospitals.
The PML-N president recalled that the price of 1kg sugar had stayed below Rs52 during their tenure, while the current regime has taken the rate to Rs108-110. "In three years, sugar worth billions of rupees has been imported."
Reminding the prime minister of his earlier statements, he said: "PM Imran Khan used to say that if the dollar goes up, even by a rupee, then the prime minister is corrupt; if the electricity bills witness a rise, then the prime minister is corrupt."
He regretted that despite being a nuclear power, "Pakistan roams about with the begging bowl in its hand".
Shahbaz claimed PML-N would sweep the next general elections, demanding that the polls be held in a free and fair manner as it's the right of the people of Pakisan.
"If the elections are not held in this manner, then we will go the legal route, which is our right."
The Opposition Leader in the National Assembly said nobody would tolerate "the selected" this time, adding "we will have to fight with the prichike and against corrupt regime".
