LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Mian Nawaz Sharif has said his party would not issue an election ticket to any fake degree holder in the future, a private television channel reported on Wednesday.
In a statement issued from his Raiwind camp office, the PML-N chief advised the lawmakers elected on fake degrees to resign voluntarily in order to avoid any embarrassment.
Nawaz said that no compromise would be made on the issue as no one would be allowed to make fun of democracy and politics, adding that sacrifices would have to be made for the propagation of democratic norms in the country.
“It has always been my principled stance that the people elected on fake degrees have no right to represent the masses,” the channel quoted him as saying.
He said that we did not give tickets to fake degree holders for the National Assembly seat in Burewala and the Punjab Assembly seat in Lahore despite the fact that they had big public support in their respective constituencies. daily times monitor/staff report
