Shehbaz Sharif backtracks on debate challenge after accepting from Bilawal Bhutto

The Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) president and former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif first accepted the challenge of debate given by Pakistan Peopeles Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto and then rejected it, saying that there is no need for any debate; people have to judge on performance. Nawaz Sharif is not competing with any party but with his own past performance.

He said that debate is not a bad thing, but it is not a custom in our country. The debate is done, the arena and the horse are present, and people have to decide on February 8.

Explaining the meaning of honoring the vote, President PML-N said that honoring the vote means that the people voted and Nawaz Sharif served the people. Earlier, while addressing a rally in Rawalpindi, Shehbaz Sharif accepted Bilawal Bhutto’s challenge for a debate and said that a gentleman had invited Nawaz Sharif for a debate.

It would have been better if they had invited Nawaz Sharif to inspect Sindh instead of a debate; there would be debate as well as comparison. The PPP chairman accepted Shehbaz Sharif’s offer of debate subject to inspection and said in his social media statement that he was ready for debate and inspection.

Mian Nawaz Sharif should debate with me in Khairpur Gumbat, where the hospital is better than any hospital in Punjab and the treatment here is completely free, and Mian Sahib has not visited Gumbat even after becoming the prime minister three times, or he should come to Tharparkar, where infrastructure will also be inspected and Thar will be compared to Cholistan.
