“That call will be given to save Pakistan through free and transparent elections. We don’t have any other way other than elections to save the country.
“Without political stability and a stable government, the country’s economic woes cannot be solved, and only free and transparent elections can bring stability to the economy and the country,” he said.
Referring to Sanaullah’s claim regarding party supremo Nawaz Sharif’s return, he sarcastically told Nawaz that he “shouldn’t worry as the people of Pakistan will give him a grand welcome”.

کپتان صاحب؛ تم کہتے تھے کہ ہفتے کی تیاری اور Strength دیکھ کر اسلام آباد کی کال دونگا۔ اپنی تیاری کا حال آج کےاعداد شمار کی زبانی ملاحظہ فرمائیں- 25 مئی کے بعد اگر آپ کی ٹائیگر فورس کی یہی تیاری ہے تو مجھے افسوس ہماری تیاری تو بیکار چلی جائیگی۔
