The Punjab Chief Minister said that problems of overseas Pakistanis, especially “illegal possession” of their land will be solved in weeks.She said both she and Nawaz Sharif were themselves victims of political vendettas in the past, adding that the world “is aware of how the government in Pakistan was once run on witchcraft.”The chief minister also remarked that Field Marshal Asim Munir’s military leadership had brought Pakistan victory against India, a claim she said was widely acknowledged internationally.
