PML-N threatens to spill beans if Jusitce Saeed doesn’t resign

LAHORE – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that rulers are making futile efforts to create rifts in the party for the last four years. 

“The government, which is supposed to concentrate on resolving public problems, is busy in settling scores with the PML-N. PTI leadership should focus on its own party as tough time is coming their way,” she said while talking to the newsmen after meeting Khokhar brothers at their residence on Wednesday. 

Maryam said that scandals of the incumbent government’s corruption were surfacing every day. She alleged that occupants of Prime Minister House were the biggest mafias. Terming PTI government a land mafia, she accused PM Imran Kan of personal-ly monitoring demolition of Khokhar Palace. 

She criticized the PTI government for high inflation and poor governance. She said discussion will be held during the PDM session on no-confidence motion against PM. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto will put forward his suggestions in the meeting, she added.

Maryam claimed that the government would not complete five years due to ineffective policies and incompetence. “Every component party in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has its own mandate and agenda; the PDM is an alliance of opposition parties to run a campaign against the PTI government,” she said.

Criticising the PTI government for appointing Justice (r) Azmat Saeed as head of the committee to probe the Broadsheet issue, Maryam referred to Panama Leaks case against Nawaz Sharif and said that the former judge was part of the conspiracy against the then elected government. “How Azmat Saeed could do justice in Broadsheet case when he himself was involved in the Broadsheet conspiracy?” She advised Justice (r) Azmat Saeed to step down as the head of an inquiry committee probing the Broadsheet scandal. Maryam said he was one of the pioneers of Panama ‘fake JIT.’

She said Broadsheet was fraudsheet. She again called upon retired Supreme Court judge Azmat Saeed to recuse himself from the inquiry into the Broadsheet scandal, warning that her party would otherwise reveal details about his past affiliations.

Maryam said that Khokhar brothers were being made to pay the price for their loyalty to Nawaz Sharif. Had there been justice in the country, Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence would have been razed to the ground first, she said. “I have come here on the instructions of Nawaz Sharif. The government is afraid of us as well as Khokhar brothers.” 

She said demolition of Khokhar brothers’ houses was an act of political victimisation. “Khokhar brothers were pressurised to leave the PML-N. When they refused, their homes were bulldozed,” she alleged. 

She said that Imran Khan should mortgage “Bani Gala” instead of mortgaging Islamabad club. 

She stressed that the PML-N ‘stands united’ in the face of ‘injustice and revenge’ and by refusing to abandon Nawaz’s cause, the party for the first time in its history had re-fused to “bow down before injustice” and the incumbent government. 

“This is a historic failure which Imran Khan and his supporters had to face,” said Mar-yam, adding that the PML-N’s roots were entrenched deeply into the “nation and the whole of Pakistan”. In contrast, she said, the “PTI has no such thing, it is a one-man show and when that person [Imran Khan] weakens then this party will shatter and scat-ter.” 

Maryam claimed that in the next general elections, “no one will be ready to take a ticket of the PTI and you will see that they can’t do a demonstration or go amongst the people […] the upcoming events for them should compel them to look at their own party and leave the PML-N.”
