Who will give a guarantee that Imran Khan will accept results if PML-N wins elections in Punjab? asks Maryam Nawaz
LAHORE, Mar 26 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President and party’s Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif has asked whether Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’ (PTI) defiant Chairman Imran Khan would accept results if her party sweeps the upcoming general elections in Punjab.
Talking to a delegation of PML-N lawyers wing, who called on her in Lahore on Sunday, Maryam Nawaz asked: “Who will give a guarantee that Imran Khan will accept results if PML-N wins elections in Punjab?” She added that the PTI chief may accuse Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of rigging after the elections.
The PML-N stalwart said that there is no other way to steer the country out of the crisis but the holding elections for political stability. She also reiterated that the elections will be held only after the scales of justice are balanced.
Berating the former prime minister, Maryam Nawaz claimed that Imran Khan was brought into power through “facilitators”. Those who brought him into power, later realised they committed a big mistake, she added.
Turning her guns towards the judiciary, she said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was ousted from office for not taking salaries from his son.
“For the first time, I came to know that decisions are made as per the wishes of wives and children,” she taunted the judiciary.
Maryam Nawaz said that there was no other solution to the crises of Pakistan except elections and they should be held after every five years.
Maryam Nawaz said that Nawaz Sharif was politically victimised. “you all supported my mother in the election and you people supported me in difficult times with great passion, your role in pushing forward Nawaz Sharif’s narrative is clear and you have not received the attention you deserve at the leadership level,” she added.
PML-N leader further said that the entire politics of PTI revolves around the facilitators. She mentioned that Imran Khan attacked the courts and flouted the constitution and law while raising question, where is the law of Pakistan?
The scales of justice in the country were not equal, the leadership of PML-N faced concocted cases while the police were attacked in Zaman Park and petrol bombs were thrown at police, she added.
Maryam Nawaz questioned who was still protecting Imran Khan? PTI chief’s politics revolves around Establishment, she added. She advised Imran Khan to appear before courts if the later was not involved in any illicit activities.
PML-N’s leader admitted that elections were the only solution for Pakistan and said that PML-N was not escaping polls but were ready for them.
