LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz said that journey of country's progress and development would resume from where it was left in 2017, soon after party supermo Nawaz Sharif would return to country and lead party again for resolution of all issues.

Addressing workers convention on Labour Day here, she said that conspiracy, through which Nawaz Sharif was ousted on basis of an 'Iqama', had been exposed now. She said that this reality was known to everybody now that some elements wanted to bring Imran Khan to power, hence conspiracy was hatched in 2017 to oust Nawaz Sharif.Maryam Nawaz said conspiracy was hatched against country and not merely Nawaz Sharif as Pakistan suffered more after ouster of PML-N supremo as premier. She said country was making significant progress during Nawaz Sharif government; economy was on revival path, difference projects were being launched under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor initiative, roads infrastructure and power projects were being completed at fast pace, inflation was lowering, terrorism had been eliminated and number of other milestones were being achieved during his tenure. However, she regretted, Nawaz Sharif was sent packing through conspiracy and country's progress was stopped. Maryam said it was unfortunate that some judges disqualified Nawaz Sharif for no taking salary from his son, but it was more unfortunate that it had become difficult for them to review their decision and provide justice to Nawaz Sharif, as per Constitution and law. She said Imran Khan wanted to destabilise country and economic process just to achieve his political goals. She said some elements were also supporting him in achieving his goals, because they, along with Imran Khan were involved in looting country.She said PTI Chief instead of taking out rally for labourers, should stop his conspiracies against country and refrain from sabotaging economic revival process, it would ultimately change situation for labourers. She said Imran Khan's long march in 2014 and protest against PML-N government failed as people had rejected his agendas and politics of agitation. But, then some elements came forward to protect him and bring him to power after disqualifying Nawaz Sharif.

Maryam said Imran Khan and his facilitators were responsible for all crises including economic, being faced by country today. She said now once again, when Imran Khan's long march, court arrest campaign and other tactics against present government had failed, some elements in judiciary had come forward to protect him. Maryam said Imran Khan's negative politics had been badly exposed before people and they had rejected him as people knew that it was only Nawaz Sharif who made sincere efforts for progress of country and welfare of people. She said Nawaz Sharif government accomplished uplift projects like metro bus and orange line train and provided daily-use commodities at low rates, like sugar for Rs 50 per kg, flour for Rs 35 per kg and other items to facilitate people.

She said that Imran Khan wanted early election so that he could come to power again with help of his supporters in judiciary. But, now people would foil all such attempts against country, she said and asked why Imran Khan got dissolved provincial assemblies. She said that conspiracy should also be probed. Audio-leaks had proved that PTI's tickets were being sold to candidates.  She said these elements wanted to keep Nawaz Sharif out of upcoming general election process, but it was not possible as people of country supported Nawaz Sharif's vision. She said it was people's belief that country could only make progress without leadership of Nawaz Sharif. Maryam Nawaz said that it was constitutional right of Parliament to make laws and it would continue doing so and get implemented those laws. Maryam said that everybody had to accept and honour legislation, made by Parliament.
