Predicting that none of the parties will be able to claim victory in the general elections, he added saying that his party has the majority of winning candidates.

When he was asked about the recent blame game between the PML-N and the PTI, Shujaat said that it was not appropriate to malign Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH) in the battle of politics.
