Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has decided to initiate a public contact campaign aimed at strengthening and restructuring the party in Punjab, according to party’s provincial president Rana Sanaullah.

Speaking to reporters outside Jati Umra, Sanaullah said the campaign was being launched specifically in Punjab and would later be reviewed by party leaders Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz.

“I will lead this campaign myself and will present the entire situation before Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz after it concludes,” he said. “For now, this campaign is limited to Punjab. When Nawaz Sharif tours other provinces, public rallies will be held there as well,” he added. On the issue of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman’s incarceration, Sanaullah said there was no indication that the visiting US doctors had made any formal request or discussion about his release.

“They probably only came to inquire about his health,” he remarked. Addressing concerns over political discourse on social media, Sanaullah said everyone had the right to voice their opinion. “Everyone has the right to express themselves on social media, but PTI’s abusive brigade is a problem for all,” he said. Sanaullah also criticised Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, saying he should have been representing his province at yesterday’s event.
