LAHORE (92 News) - PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has urged the people to attend public meetings because Covid-18 was 'more lethal than Covid-19'.

Addressing a PDM's public rally in Lahore, the PML-N vice president said that today the people of Lahore have buried the 'fake change' forever which started from Minar-e-Pakistan in 2011.

She urged the people to wear masks because "I value and care for your life" but said that it was important to attend public meetings because Covid-18 was 'more lethal than Covid-19'. "PDM will not grant NRO to Imran Khan," she added.

Maryam Nawaz maintained that after coming into power by this current government, Pakistan's development, cheap wheat, flour, gas, medicines and employment have been quarantined.

The PML-N vice president thanked Lahore's residents for attending the public meeting in overwhelming numbers. "Without naming the prime minister, Maryam said that someone had challenged PDM in Pharoah's tone" to gather enough people to fill up Minar-e-Pakistan's grounds, adding that today participants of the public meeting had filled up adjoining streets as well.

She said Lahore welcomed Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan as a "real brother". "No one is big or small, we are all equal," she declared.

She said that for the past three years the prime minister — whom she referred to as 'Tabedar (obedient) Khan' — had been saying that he will not grant an NRO. Maryam insisted that today the prime minister was seeking an NRO from Nawaz Sharif and the people.

She urged the people to wear masks because "I value and care for your life" but said that it was important to attend public meetings because Covid-18 was "more lethal than Covid-19".

The sixth public meeting, which the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is calling a "historic and decisive" power show, is underway in Lahore's Minar-i-Pakistan.

On their arrival at the venue, PDM leaders Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Maryam Nawaz, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari along with others were greeted by enthusiastic supporters who had gathered at Minar-i-Pakistan during the day.

Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan's (JUP) Awais Noorani told Prime Minister Imran Khan to submit his resignation and called upon PTI supporters to "rebel" against the ruling party.

Awami National Party Ameer Haider Khan Hoti also condemned the ruling PTI and said that about 80 years ago, Bacha Khan had started a non-violent struggle for his nation's rights.

Balochistan National Party-Mengal’s Sardar Akhtar Mengal started off his address by saying if provinces were autonomous [in Pakistan] Bangladesh would not have been created.

Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party chairman Mehmood Khan Achakzai also addressed the rally.

Jamiat-i-Ahle Hadees chief emir Professor Sajid Mir also spoke at the gathering and said he wanted to commend the participants for holding a grand and memorable public meeting in the shadow of Minar-e-Pakistan despite the difficulties created by the government.
