Jackal ran away without marking his attendance fearing indictment & arrest: Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE/ISLAMABAD, Mar 18 (SABAH): Senior Vice President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and party’s Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Saturday lambasted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan while making sarcastic remarks regarding the latter’s appearance before court in Islamabad.

Taking to twitter, she said: “Mark my attendance while appearing before me and the jackal ran away without marking his attendance fearing indictment and arrest.”

Earlier, in a tweet, PML-N chief organiser asked if only a woman was present at Zaman Park, then who was firing and throwing petrol bombs on police from inside the house. Do they even think before lying, she added.

A video shared by Maryam Nawaz on her twitter account shows someone from inside Imran Khan’s residence throwing petrol bomb towards police personnel. She said the PTI was a terrorist group whose leader was harbouring miscreants and trained terrorists in his house to avoid the law and punishment.

She further added “it was now known why is the country suffering from sedition and chaos, since this terrorist was forcibly dragged into politics and his politics is also coming to its disgraceful end.”

The PML-N leader said political leaders and political parties in Pakistan struggled, made sacrifices. Calling the PTI a political party or calling Imran Khan a political leader would be an insult to the struggle of political workers spread over many decades, she added.

Meanwhile Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that protecting the writ of the government is not the responsibility of the government only rather it rests with all pillars of the state.

Addressing a news conference on Saturday, she said former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif attended court proceedings to face cases and spent a long period of time in jail as well. She said parties which are popular do not need support of banned outfits for their leader’s protection.

She said the current government believes in serving the public and we will fulfill all promises made with people.
