ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday said that her party would comment if the chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is granted an extension too. Maryam Nawaz also reacted to the claims of fake registration of vaccination in the identity card of her father Nawaz Sharif, terming it ‘ridiculous’.
“Like the current government, the vaccination record is also fake. I am concerned that the international community may question that the entire record of Pakistani vaccination campaign is fake,” she asserted.
Replying to another question, Maryam Nawaz said that the PTI government has been attacking every institution, which would question its incompetence.
“Just take example of the Election Commission of Pakistan which is facing the government’s reprimand. The PTI has failed on every diplomatic front. I do not remember the sort of humiliation and disgrace we are facing today,” she claimed.
Maryam Nawaz said that even CNN TV described Prime Minister Imran Khan as no more than the mayor of Islamabad.
“Such embarrassment has never come to prime minister of Pakistan. Despite being targeted personally, the PML-N leaders did not target the state institutions. But the PTI government is encouraging the members of the election commission to take action against the election commissioner which is a dangerous omen,” she maintained.
Maryam Nawaz also discarded the proposal of electronic voting machines, saying that the EVMs would be another scandal like the Result Transmission System (RTS) which cannot be trusted at all.
She said that before coming to power, Imran Khan used to make speeches against receiving gifts by heads of the state during foreign tours.
“However, after taking over as PM, Khan has refused to give details of the gifts received. These gifts are neither personal property of Imran Khan nor his family’s property,” she added. Maryam Nawaz said that the current government has increased the prices of petrol, wheat-flour and sugar.
“So now Prime Minister Imran Khan is responsible for it as he used to blame the prime minister for the increase in prices in the past,” she concluded.
