Those trying to destabilise the country under garb of politics & democracy will not get any lenient treatment: Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE, March 11 (SABAH): Those trying to destabilise the country under the garb of politics and democracy will not get any lenient treatment, said Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.

While talking to media persons in Lahore, Maryam Nawaz said the law would come into action if there was a threat of damaging public property or harming the people.

“It isn’t political victimisation”, the chief minister stressed and added that one had to act like a responsible citizen in case of protest.

Maryam said, “If you think that [you] will use your democratic right to spread political chaos in the country, then I will not allow [you] to do so.”

The chief minister mentioned that she watched a video in which a woman attacked a police vehicle and got some individuals free by force. In which country it was allowed to help people flee by attacking the law enforcers, she questioned.

Replying to another question, the chief minister admitted that the government did not have any organised system to fix rates and control prices and said there were governance problems which would take time to be addressed, a statement in the backdrop of rising inflation, especially the food prices.
