Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Wednesday said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had ousted the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government from London.
“Soon he (Nawaz) will bury the politics of his rivals,” she said while addressing party workers at the Khokhar Palace in Lahore. The PML-N leader said that the former prime minister with an “innocent face” questions why the courts were opened at 12 in the night. “The courts were opened because you [had] launched a suicide attack on the constitution.”
She added that the former prime minister was “crying” ever since he lost power. Taking a jibe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, she said: “When the time came to play the last ball he ran away. When the time came for the last over he did not leave the pavilion.”
She claimed that President Arif Alvi, Punjab Governor Omar Sarfaraz Cheemz, former speaker Asad Qaiser and ex-deputy speaker Qasim Suri were acting like the Imran’s “employees”. “Your employees had committed treason,” she claimed and added that her cousin Hamza Shehbaz would take oath as the chief minister of Punjab. Referring to the “lettergate” controversy, Maryam said that Imran Khan got a “befitting reply” from the state and the National Security Committee (NSC).
Earlier, Punjab Chief Minister-elect Hamza Shehbaz accused the PTI chairman of making false promises and assured the PML-N workers that Imran Khan would not be allowed to hide behind lame excuses.
