ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday said the nation must know that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is working day and night to give a secure future to the nation and young people.
Talking to reporters outside the Supreme Court, she said that during the last four years, the whole nation saw how Imran Khan ‘abused’ the national institutions in whatever way he could.
The minister said Kaptaan did not know how to respect others and the constitutional state entities as he was unfamiliar with the word respect.
She said the PTI wanted to foment confrontation between the state institutions as
was evident from the speeches and tweets of parliamentary representatives of the party.
Marriyum said the PTI was doing politics at the cost of the dignity and prestige of the national institutions to gain cheap popularity and such machinations and shenanigans were clearly meant to
obstruct progress that was underway in the country.
She observed that the courts issued con
tempt notices against the skipper and even declared him uncivilised, but he refused to appear before them.
She said t
hat Imran Khan had no interest in the development of the country through mega-projects like CPEC, strengthening of constitutional institutions or a secure future for the youth.
The minister said the Supreme Court expressed satisfaction over the report presented to it by Joint Investigation Team (JIT) and in its remarks acknowledged the fact that the PM and other institutions were cooperating with the JIT. She hoped that the JIT would proceed in the matter according to law and constitution.
Marriyum pointed out that while the PM had presented record of his three generations before the court for his own dignity and gaining the trust of the people the PTI supremo had refused to provide record of even the last three years to the court and has been avoiding appearing before the SC, high court and Election Commission of Pakistan.
The minister said Imran Khan tried to befool people by climbing on top of the containers, taking to streets and continuously telling l
ies to the people. She urged the PTI chairman to shun the politics of lies and hurling unsubstantiated allegations at his political opponents and try to seek support of the people on the basis of performance.
