Pakistan is on ventilator due to the incompetence of Imran Khan: Maryam Nawaz
SWABI, May 11 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday on Wednesday told deposed prime minister Imran Khan that he was not the subject of any ‘foreign conspiracy’ but that his own MNAs and MPAs cast a no-trust vote against him. Maryam Nawaz said that Pakistan is on ventilator due to the incompetence of Imran Khan.
“Imran Khan needed to rely on a fake letter and resort to a conspiracy drama to cover his government’s lack of performance during the past four years,” the PML-N leader told a public gathering in Swabi, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
“You were neither ousted by Nawaz nor by a foreign conspiracy, but by your own MNAs and MPAs,” she added.
Maryam Nawaz also said the nation of 220 million people would not let Imran hide behind his conspiracy claims. She added that the people of K-P will have to think carefully about who they wanted as the next rulers as it is linked with their progress and prosperity.
Maryam asked the people of the province to vote for PML-N’s Engineer Ameer Muqam and rid the province of Imran Khan in the next elections.
Continuing her tirade against the former premier, she claimed that he was a complete failure when it came to detailing his party’s performance during his rule. On the deposed PM’s alleged criticism of state institutions, she said: “Why should Pakistan Army carry the burden of your filth,” adding, “You will have to carry this burden yourself.” She went on to say that Imran lost his senses after he lost power.
According to the PML-N stalwart, Imran Khan remained oblivious of the masses’ issues. “It will take two to three years for the incumbent government to undo what Imran did during his rule.”
She added: “Imran destroyed the economy and we found the country on a ventilator” after taking over the reins of the regime.
Maryam Nawaz accused the deposed premier of misuse of the state’s helicopter, looting the exchequer through Farah Khan – former first lady Bushra Bibi’s close acquaintance who is under NAB scrutiny for her alleged assets beyond means – as well as Imran’s role in the Tosha Khana case pertaining to the gifts received from foreign states, and running his residence of Bani Gala on state’s expenses.
She said that the mismanagement of the previous PTI-led government would take at least two to three years to fix the country, saying mere one or two months were insufficient for the job.
Maryam Nawaz called upon members of the opposition to avoid carrying “baggage of Imran’s failures” in front of the public. She said all institutions were in the good books of Imran when he was in power, and “after relinquishing the charge, he is now targeting institutions”.
Maryam said Imran had nothing to boast about when it came to his performance as the prime minister. “The man who has nothing to tell the people about his achievement is now using a fake letter and making a fuss about a so-called conspiracy to hide his own poor performance.” She dismissed all claims of Imran as “excuses”.
She said Imran’s ouster was the need of the hour as Pakistan was “plunging into multiple crisis”. She urged people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to take a decision in the next elections “very carefully” and choose a party capable of changing their fate.
