Defamation suit against PM: Firdous accepts challenge of PML-N leader

17 Jul, 2019

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Tuesday accepted challenge of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi regarding filing defamation suit against PM Imran Khan and special assistant on accountability Shahzad Akbar for leveling allegations against opposition leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif. In a tweet, Dr Firdous said that traces of theft are going to Britain and these will also lead us to many other countries. More disclosures are yet to surface, she added.
The special assistant said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is the first government which is bringing the plunderers to task. She said that the looted amount will be recovered as it is the case of twenty-two crore people. There is lot of contradiction in words and deeds of PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif, she continued.
Firdous Ashiq Awan said Shahbaz Sharif used to say that he will drag Pakistan People's Party (PPP) co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on the roads but he has hugged him now. "Sharif had also announced to quit politics on proven guilty in corruption cases. He had also promised to change his name on failing to end load shedding in six months but he forgot this promise too," she stated.
