ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that an attempt was made to oust Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) from the elections but Nawaz Sharif-led party, which enjoyed the support of the people and blessings of the Almighty, would invariably emerge triumphant in every election.
Talking to media outside the parliament house here Saturday, she said that Nawaz Sharif would even win the Senate elections.
The minister in a statement lambasted Imran Khan for not casting his vote in the Senate elections saying that he was fond of giving examples about democracy in other countries but did not turn up in the parliament to cast his vote in deference to democracy in his own country, which had exposed his double standards and hypocrisy. She added that a person who did not have any respect for the sanctity of vote and parliament wanted to become prime minister by the same vote and legislature.
Marriyum further said that wherever Nawaz Sharif went, people in thousands followed him because they knew that he had served the masses. She added that two years had passed but they could not ferret out any corruption against Nawaz Sharif.
The minister said that Imran Khan, who had to explain his position regarding submission of a fake NOC, was terming his own assembly members as saleable commodities. She added that he was hurling allegations against his own party men, adding that a person who cursed the parliament would have no consideration for the parliamentarians.
She said that in the ensuing elections, the decisions would be made by the thumbs of the people and not the finger of the umpire.
Later, talking to PTV, Marriyum said that questions must be asked from those who were enemies of democracy and the country and gave date after date saying that the Senate elections would be postponed. She added that the holding of the Senate elections was really embarrassing for them.
The minister said that it would mark the completion a decade of uninterrupted democracy in the country. She added that it would help people in understanding the difference between the democratic and dictatorial regime in regards to services rendered to them.
