PTI chief should not be allowed to ‘attack’ federal capital: Maryam

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said the “foreign-funded party” should not be allowed to hold long march on Islamabad, saying PTI should be dealt with iron first.

“An example should be made of Imran for conspiring against the country and institutions,” she declared while addressing a press conference here on Tuesday.

Maryam said the PTI chief should not be allowed to “attack” the federal capital with his “armed group”.

Lashing out Imran Khan, the PML-N VP said that when he was in power, he liked the institutions very well but when was refused to change his “nappies,” he abused the word “neutral.”

She said Imran Khan had made a word like neutral an abuse, adding that he also launched a campaign against the victims of the helicopter crash. Maryam also claimed that when the PTI chief failed to get NRO in the secret meeting held in President’s House, he started criticizing “them.”

Highlighting the PTI chief’s hard-hitting statements against the establishment, Maryam said the ousted premier would praise military when he was sitting in the Prime Minister’s Office. “Nawaz Sharif never used abusive language against establishment like Imran.”

Her statement came a day after the PTI chief indicated that his party’s much-awaited long march to the federal capital might finally be taking place in the third week of this month.

The former prime minister on Monday held a meeting of district presidents and secretaries of his party’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Punjab wings, wherein he issued strict instructions to officials for the upcoming march.

He had directed them to ensure full participation of the people and advised them to consider “real freedom as “jihad”. He added that if they do not get “real freedom” now, they might never get it at all.

Responding to a question about PTI’s narrative of real freedom, Maryam told reporter at the presser that Imran’s entire narrative is based on lies, adding that this is not a narrative rather a fraud.

“Shelf life of Imran Khan’s lies has expired,” she said. Maryam pointed out that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s return to country was a slap in the face of PTI’s narrative.

The PML-N leader said when the Chief Election Commissioner caught Imran Khan’s theft, he became evil and corrupt. She said the officer who asked Imran Khan about the diamond necklaces as a bribe for his wife, turned against him.

Announced filing an application against the case in which her passport was captured but is now provided on the orders of the court.

Maryam raised the question that why her passport was seized when no case was registered with the police and no reference was filed in NAB.

PASSPORT RECEIVED FROM LHC

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday received her passport from the Lahore High Court (LHC).

Accompanied by her counsel Amjad Pervaiz Advocate and PML-N leader Pervaiz Rasheed, she reached the high court and received her passport from the deputy registrar judicial after signing the necessary documents for the purpose.

A day earlier, a three-member LHC bench had ordered the court deputy registrar judicial to return the passport of Maryam Nawaz, while allowing a civil miscellaneous application, filed by her for the purpose.
