LAHORE: Terming the government of PM Imran Khan as "fake", PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has ruled out any possibility of initiating a dialogue with the current government.

Flanked by PML-N leaders Javed Hashmi and Pervaiz Rashid, Maryam told media here on Thursday that when she did not recognize the current set up, how we can initiate dialogue with them.

"Mian sahib has decided that there will be no talks now."

Maryam said those who were trying to use underhanded tactics would fail because the PML-N is united and its vote bank has increased in love of Nawaz Sharif.

She said the current government will not be able to complete its tenure.

"This government is so weak that it will fall on its face before its tenure ends," she said, adding: "What was needed is to send the current set-up packing was one push."

Labeling PM Imran Khan as a "weak" and "inept person", she said he (Imran) is unable to manage the affairs of the state, hence tells institutions to deal with the crises instead.

"There will come a time when even the institutions will tell you to fight your cases yourself, don't use us" she said, adding: "That time has come now."

Maryam claimed that for the first time over the past 72 years of Pakistan's history, Punjab had not surrendered to the "establishment".

Answering a question about Khawaja Asif's statement on Asif Ali Zardari, Maryam said that Nawaz had already spoken on the matter and his speech had gone live.
