‘SC verdict buries Imran’s narrative of conspiracy’

Maryam says Imran Khan is ‘founder of rigging’ in Pakistan

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday hailed the Supreme Court’s detailed judgment that explained why it had set aside former National Assembly deputy speaker Qasim Khan Suri’s ruling on the no-trust move against the then prime minister Imran Khan.

Addressing a public gathering in Kallar Syedan, she said that the top court in its verdict called Imran Khan a “liar and violator of the constitution”. She added that the decision has finished Imran Khan’s politics, adding that those who breached the constitution must be tried under Article 6 of the constitution and be given exemplary punishments.

She said that the verdict also buried the PTI chief’s narrative of “foreign conspiracy”. “The Supreme Court judge said he [Imran Khan] never gave any proof of a conspiracy. If he had any proof he would have presented as there is no better forum than the Supreme Court to validate his claim,” she added.

“Now he [Imran] is crying about rigging. The person who lost all by-polls to the PML-N during his own tenure is complaining about rigging. Imran Khan is the founder of rigging in Pakistan.”

She went on to say that the former premier is an “enemy” of the people of Punjab and Pakistan. “You must throw him outside the borders of Punjab [via by-polls],” she urged the participants.

The PML-N stalwart said that Imran Khan had laid landmines for the incoming government, which caused the leadership to make tough decisions but added that the coming days will bring good news.
