According to former MPA Raja Hanif, new faces should be selected by looking at the ground realities. He said that an impression is being given that no one is qualified for the post of general secretary except for these three people.

He said PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, former MNA Hanif Abbasi, Sajjad Khan, and Chaudhry Danial should be apprised over the reservations by party workers.

He said that if the demands were not met, a workers convention will be held in all national and provincial constituencies against the new party leadership.
