Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has claimed that the PML-N will secure 300 seats from Punjab in the upcoming general elections.

He claimed that PML-N will win 100 seats of the National Assembly and 200 seats of the Provincial Assembly of Punjab.

During an informal chat with reporters, Sanaullah said that PML-N will not form an electoral alliance with any political party. All the parties in the PDM will contest elections from their own platforms, he added.

The minister said that a “consensus is important” between all parties for holding the census.

He denied having any knowledge about the whereabouts of journalist Imran Riaz Khan. “God knows better where Imran Riaz Khan is. His family has not contacted us.”

Responding to a question regarding the disqualification of the PTI chairman, he called it premature to talk about Khan’s conviction and likely disqualification.

He denied having any knowledge of the PTI chairman’s disqualification, saying that it is not sure if Khan will be convicted before or after the elections.

Sanaullah said that the chairman of Tehreek Minhajul Quran Dr Tahirul Qadri has founded several trusts in foreign countries worth billions. The trustees are around six people from his family, he added.
