In an apparent reference to the PTI, PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz on Monday said a \u201cterrorist party\u201d could not be allotted an electoral symbol as her party kicked off its poll campaign in Okara.<\/p>\n
After much delay, the PML-N is finally set to unveil its manifesto for the February 8 general elections. For the last two months, the party\u2019s over 30 different sub-committees have been sitting together to prepare its poll manifesto.<\/p>\n
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif had been perturbed by his party being labelled as the \u2018favourite\u2019 of the establishment, an impression he desperately wanted to dispel during the election campaign, an insider had told<\/a> Dawn<\/em> earlier.<\/p>\n Further, the delay in the launch of the polls campaign was primarily caused by the PML-N\u2019s long deliberations<\/a> in ticket distribution and seat adjustment with the Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party (IPP) and PML-Q.<\/p>\n Addressing party supporters in Okara today, Maryam \u2014 without mentioning the PTI \u2014 said: \u201cSher<\/em> [tiger] can be allotted sher<\/em>, but a terrorist party cannot be allotted an election symbol like other political parties.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou say your electoral symbol was \u2018bat\u2019, no, it was the danda<\/em> [baton] that you had in your hand. The danda<\/em> that you used against the state of Pakistan and the public,\u201d Maryam claimed.<\/p>\n
