PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique on Saturday said that the crutches of electables are needed to form government.

“PPP [Pakistan Peoples’ Party] and PTI [Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf] also do the same,” he wrote in a post on X.

In an apparent jibe at PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the PML-N leader said that the increasing distance between Zardari and the post of prime minister is the only reason for the displeasure of the PPP chairman.

“Bilawal should not lose heart. Instead of giving in to cursing, take courage and contest elections on Sindh government’s performance and [PPP] election manifesto,” Rafique said soon after Zardari critcised the PML-N for allegedly abandoning its narrative of upholding democratic values.
