ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secretary information Marriyum Aurangzeb said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is desperately trying to shift focus away from their 'deplorable' two-year performance with a new attack against the PML-N leader because Imran Khan's political existence has 'no roots', and "cannot survive without using Nawaz Sharif's name".
Talking to the media here on Saturday, she said Imran Khan had to use Nawaz's name to come into power, and cannot stay in power for a single day without demonizing the PML-N supremo because the 'selected prime minister' could not even lay a brick of development work as opposed to billions worth of projects completed by Nawaz Sharif.
Slamming the statements regarding setting an example by bringing Nawaz back to Pakistan through legal action, she said the PTI government should start by arresting, investigating and prosecuting Punjab Health Minister Yasmeen Rashid, the board of government doctors and Punjab government that clearly stated that Nawaz's treatment was not possible in Pakistan, and he had to be moved abroad to save his life. Nawaz went abroad through legal processes.
She said Imran Khan should set an example by bringing back the money launderers and public sugar money looters who he helped leave the country on a chartered plane.
The former information minister said this new wave of hoopla against Nawaz is because the government knows it has destroyed every sector of Pakistan from its economy, industry, businesses, jeopardised national defence, and security.
She said Imran Khan's decisions have plummeted national growth from 5.8 to minus 0.4, the price of sugar has reached Rs110 from Rs52, flour from Rs32 to Rs78, medicines have become unaffordable because of PTI's 500 percent price hike, petrol has hit the roof with unprecedented price hike, and the inflation has skyrocketed from three to 13 percent.
Marriyum claimed the prime minister inaugurates Nawaz Sharif's initiated projects and then alleges corruption in the same projects.
"Why hasn't he shut down any of these projects if they were marred by corruption," she asked.
