CHINIOT: The absence of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)parliamentarians, MNAs and MPAs from the district Chiniot during the visitof Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, caused embasement to the chiefminister and the ruling party.

The absence of all MPs from the stage during the speech of Shehbaz Sharifwas all more shocking for the PML-N because it had won all the national andprovincial assemblies seats in the district during 2013 general elections.

Shehbaz Sharif must have felt very lonely at the start of the rally wherechairs of MPs, Mehr Saqlain Anwer Sipra, Maulana Rehmat Ullah, and MehrImtiaz Lali besides those of MNAs Qaisar Ahmad Sheikh and Mehr GhulamMuhammad Lali were vacant.

The PML-N president, however, got some company when provincial assemblymembers, Maulana Ilyas Chinioti, Mr Sipra and Maulana Rehmat Ullah arrivedat the rally after some delay.
