Imran’s ‘facilitator’ posted in Peshawar responsible for mosque attack: Maryam
BAHAWALPUR
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief organiser and senior vice president Maryam Nawaz says the “gang of five” has reached its logical end and her party will steer the country out of problems.
Addressing a workers’ convention in Bahawalpur on Wednesday, she said saving the country from the gang of five was the PML-N’s responsibility whether it’s Imran Khan, Asif Saeed Khosa, ex-CJ Saqib Nisar or two of his props.
Maryam, while mentioning zero load shedding during her father and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s tenure, stressed that the PML-N was making Pakistan stand on its feet again. She said the sugar was sold at Rs50 per kg during the PML-N supremo’s tenure.
Turning her guns towards Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, the PML-N chief organiser said the incumbent government was bound to increase the price of petrol due to Imran Khan’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). She claimed that the PML-N government had saved Pakistan from the brink of devastation. “It was easy for us to go to the polls, but instead we chose the difficult path to bring the country back on track,” she added.
“Those who think the PML-N is afraid of going into elections should know that we are in the field. I promise you that we will not only contest the next elections but will secure sweeping victory,” Maryam said.
Maryam urged party workers to become a voice of PM Shehbaz and Nawaz Sharif on social media. Nawaz Sharif crushed terrorists with operation Zarb-e-Azb but the terrorism had once again resurfaced.
Maryam Nawaz also expressed grief over the suicide attack at a mosque in Peshawar’s Police Lines area – that claimed lives of over 100 people – and prayed for the lost lives and a peaceful Pakistan. Criticising the PTI for ‘holding negotiations’ with terrorists, she said that Imran Khan was in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for the last 10 years and did noting to increase capacity of the provincial police.
“Police in KP have nothing to protect themselves because you [Imran Khan] kept the provincial government only to cover the expenses for helicopter rides,” she added. Maryam Nawaz further said that when Imran was the prime minister, eight meetings on counter-terrorism were held in the parliament but he did not even attend one.
