LONDON: A lawyer from a famous Jhelum political family met former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. He joined the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz for local and national politics.

Barrister Chaudhry spoke to media outside the office for 30 minutes. He claimed he will run for office on the PML-N ticket since Nawaz had led Pakistan to prosperity and progress.
While, Nawaz Sharif advised me on local concerns and our national goal. The PML-N leader pushed me to pursue politics full-time and said the party needs young and educated people.”
The lawyer claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhary was only active on Twitter and Facebook and had not helped Jhelum residents.
He claimed Fawad had promised local kids jobs and opportunity but failed to deliver.
Moreover, The lawyer said it was regrettable that Jhelum affiliated with Fawad, “whose only claim to fame is to abuse political opponents, lie, defame and indulge into dirty politics and changing loyalties without any considerations”.
PTI introduced an unclean culture locally and nationwide. The PTI known for nepotism and Baradari politics, and party tickets sold rather than granted to meritorious candidates at all levels.
Barrister Chaudhry said there is a lot of dissatisfaction at the local and national level. Since “there’s no development under PTI in four years and all projects started by PML-N’s government stopped after 2018 elections rigged and progress of Pakistan stopped”.
Barrister Chaudhry practises in London and Rawalpindi. After graduating from London University, he passed the bar at Lincoln’s Inn. His family participates in Jhelum PP27.
