ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Secretary Information Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday said that the party’s President Shehbaz Sharif is behind bars for past 100 days without any proof of corruption.
In a statement, Marriyum said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has held Shehbaz and PML-N’s Member National Assembly (MNA) Khawaja Mohammad Asif hostage to force the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) into granting the corrupt Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
She said, “Imran knows he is an unqualified and inept person. Due to his prejudice and insecurity, he has imprisoned Shehbaz. He is aware of the fact that Shehbaz is fully prepared, competent, able and skilled to successfully run the country.
The Imran-National Accountability Bureau (NAB) alliance can illegally abduct and detain Shehbaz in fake cases, but it cannot prove a single penny of corruption on him. The fabricated and fake documentary evidence, waved around at the press conferences of Imran’s stooges, hold no value in the courts of law. This is the reason the evidence is not being presented in the courts.”
The former Information Minister said after putting Shehbaz behind bars, the government is robbing public electricity and gas while hiking their tariffs beyond the reach of the people. Imran arrested Shehbaz so that no one could hold him accountable over his 100-year plan, 10 million jobs, and five million homes for the poor people.
The insecure, frightened, desperate and selected prime minister wants Shehbaz to remain behind bars so that he and his likeminded corrupt politicians can get an NRO over Rs126 billion worth of potholes in the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit project.
