ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb on Tuesday said that former premier Nawaz Sharif along with his family members was appearing before the court three to four times a week but he and his daughter were denied exemption from court appearance for going to London to enquire about the health of his wife and mother respectively, whereas the court had granted exemption to the “darling” Imran Khan who was a culprit in a case of terrorism for attacking a police SSP, the parliament and the Pakistan Television (PTV) Headquarters.
Talking to the media outside the Ehtsab Court, Marriyum said that the entire nation had witnessed how the parliament and PTV were attacked.
The minister also pointed out that the case file of Asif Ali Zardari had gone missing from the office of National Accountability Bureau (NAB). She said that the entire world knew that during PPP’s government, the hands of Zardari were on the pockets of others.
Marriyum said that after having failed to find any corroborative evidence of corruption against Nawaz Sharif who twice served as Punjab chief minister and had the distinction of thrice serving as the prime minister, reference after reference were being filed against him. She said that in spite of crying hoarse to dub Nawaz Sharif as the biggest culprit, they had failed to establish anything against him. Referring to Wajid Zia, the minister said that he was not a witness in the case as his status was that of a collector and agent.
The minister said that Imran was having fits of lying and in that state of mind he acted like a loose-cannon without realising the implications of what he was saying, which was very deplorable. She said that few months were left in the general elections and if he did not change his attitude and behavior, the people would give him a befitting answer. Marriyum observed that every day, Imran tried to copy Maryam Nawaz and added that it was God who gave some people the opportunity to serve the masses whereas Imran was only fated to churn out lies.
