PML-N leader offers ‘ticket to paradise’ for attending Nawaz’s homecoming rally

report in Pakistan Today, Oct 18, 2023
LAHORE: Chaudhry Asadur Rehman, a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, on Tuesday drawn public criticism for promising ‘heavenly ticket’ to those welcoming former prime minister Nawaz Sharif at the party’s forthcoming political rally at Minar-e-Pakistan scheduled for October 21.

In a widely circulated video on social media, PML-N leader while addressing a corner meeting in Kamalia, can be heard telling his supporters that on October 21, “angels would be compiling a list of those who would go to Minar-e-Pakistan to welcome Nawaz Sharif”.

Ch Asadur Rehman is a former member of the National Assembly (MNA) from NA-954 Toba Tek Singh.

The PML-N supremo, set to return on October 21 after ending his almost four-year long exile in London, is slated to address a rally organised by his key party aides, who are mobilising people in various corner meetings ahead of the former premier’s return to the country.

In a bid to invite more people to join the rally, the PML-N leader was willing to extend the “clearance certificate” of direct entry into heaven without facing any “reckoning”.

He also gave the clearance “certificate” to the participants of the corner meeting.

The PML-N leader also claimed to have made similar assertions in the presence of Nawaz. He recalled that he also stated before Nawaz that angels would compile a list of those who were gearing up to receive the former prime minister on his homecoming.

However, he did not disclose what was the response of Nawaz when he made such assertions.

It is pertinent to mention that the PML-N leader is also the candidate for the upcoming general elections. He is the brother of former judge Khalilur Rehman Ramde.

Similarly, another PML-N leader attempted to attract more attendees to the Minar-e-Pakistan rally by offering motorcycles to party workers and promising biryani meals as incentives.
