LAHORE: Unfazed by recent anti-government protests, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said that the people of Pakistan had elected the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) and it will complete its five-year tenure.

Governments do not change over the 'whims of a few people', the prime minister remarked.

He was apparently referring to leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), who have been carrying out anti-government protest across the country for over two months.

Speaking at session for the rehabilitation of flood victims here today, Nawaz said that the government was doing its level-best in all aspects.

The PML-N will complete the five-year mandate that has been given by the people, he said. He vowed that his government would not allow any force to impede the progress of the nation.

He commended Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who he said was working day and night to provide relief to the flood-affected people.

The prime minister also directed the government to quickly complete its rehabilitation plan for the flood victims.
