LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Maryam Nawaz slammed on Sunday Pakistan Tereek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, saying the latter’s plan to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) had been foiled.
“I congratulate the leadership of China and Pakistan on re-opening of the Khunjrab pass and resumption of Sino-Pak trade after a three-year gap”, PML-N Chief Organizer Maryam Nawaz said in a statement on Sunday.
Khunjrab pass was reopened after three years, which was closed due to Covid-19. It is seen as a significant development that will help end the hardships of people on both sides.
Maryam Nawaz said: “It is the matter of immense delight that Khunjerab Pass has been opened in 2023 after three years. I would like to felicitate the leaderships and the masses of both China and Pakistan.”
“Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Xi Jinping are strengthening Pakistan-China iron brotherhood,” she added.
Maryam Nawaz also praised the Pakistan-China iron brotherhood and accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government of deliberately stalling Pakistan-China trade activities and the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
She said the PML-N Supremo and the architect of CPEC, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif started the project with the help of China to boost Pakistan’s development.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif believes that if the CPEC and Pak-China trade had continued at the pace of the Pakistan Muslim League-N era, the people would not have been miserable today.
She emphasized that China-Pakistan relations are the red line of national security and dismissed the baseless allegations of corruption in the projects being run in Pakistan with the cooperation of CPEC and China, which she believes were made by foreign-funded agents to create ‘fitna’.
The conspiracy, according to Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has been foiled.
The foreign-funded agent [Imran] made baseless allegations of corruption in the projects being run in Pakistan with the cooperation of CPEC and China.
Berating the PTI-led government, Ms Nawaz accused the PTI of destroying the CPEC. She slammed Mr Khan for making “baseless allegations” about the prevailing of corruption in the projects – under the CPEC.
On Thursday, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Maryam Nawaz slammed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, saying the institutions could not run at the latter’s will.
Taking to Twitter, Ms Nawaz schooled the deposed premier, saying, “It is a weird joke to see Imran taking the name of the constitution despite the fact that he has been declared as the certified violator of the constitution.”
“The conspiracy you plotted with the help of the facilitators has been exposed. Now is the time for you to remain silent,” added Ms Nawaz.
