In first address after landing, Maryam says PML-N not ‘scared’ of elections. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz is eyeing victory in the upcoming Punjab polls and noted that her party was not afraid of going into elections — despite the rising inflation.
Maryam, who was appointed as the party’s senior vice president earlier this month, landed at the Allama Iqbal International Airpot from Abu Dhabi at around 3:30pm after a brief delay in her flight.
The daughter of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was in London since October to spend time with her father — after she was acquitted in the Avenfield reference case.
Amid tight security to avoid any untoward situation, the party workers in the provincial capital have prepared camps near the airport to welcome Maryam, with senior leaders also in presence.

PML-N supremo Nawaz has asked Maryam to lead rallies and meetings ahead of the upcoming elections in Punjab, alongside Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah. The newly-appointed chief organiser has also been tasked to “reorganise” the party set-up.
Addressing the PML-N workers in Lahore, the senior party leader reiterated that Nawaz would be among them soon — a topic that has been widely speculated about.
“These [establishment] people ousted Nawaz from the government again and again. You brought him into power thrice but these people toppled his governments,” she said.
