LAHORE: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday said that the underlying motive of PML-N to make the institutions controversial is to obtain relief in cases against them.
Talking to media, he said that PML-N generate conspiracy to hit national institutions whenever cases against them are opened.
He said that during their tenure, they (PML-N) promoted nepotism to further their vested interests. He said that their story started from the affidavit of Rana Shamim and concluded at the alleged audio recording of former chief justice Saqib Nisar.
The federal minister said it is very obvious that the Sharif family is resorting to such tactics as they have to present the money trail about the purchase of their properties.
However, he said that the higher judiciary should take notice and take action accordingly.
Fawad said the PML-N had won elections in 1990 against PPP through rigging and the apex court had affirmed this. He added that it is another matter that PPP has now joined hands secretly with PML-N.
To a question, he said that petroleum prices in the international market have come down recently and this impact would appear in few weeks time on prices in the country.
He said the government is thankful to Saudi Arabia for extending cooperation, adding the negotiations with the IMF are also being finalised.
To another query, Fawad said that if Maryam Nawaz thinks the audio recording of Saqib Nisar can benefit her case, then she should take it to the court.
