Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday instructed his party’s officials to launch a mass mobilization campaign in advance of the general elections.

According to local media news citing party sources, the former premier gave the PML- N’s team in Lahore instructions asking them to begin organizing for general elections and engage the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its allies in public debate.

Nawaz held several online meetings with key members of his party and gave them instructions to step up their political activity ahead of the Punjab vote of confidence.

It was determined that public meetings would take place in the Governor’s House and State Guest House, and federal ministers would also hold open courts to hear public complaints and issue direct orders to address them.

A remedy to prevent the PTI from dissolving the Punjab Assembly was also requested by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. In this context, the prime minister recently got in touch with former president Asif Ali Zardari and spoke with him about the current political climate.

A gazette notification was also released by the assembly secretariat.
