Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz has come under fire for holding a workers’ convention in Khudian on Wednesday.
Her rival party—Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)—mocked the party for distributing biryani among the attendees. They accused that PML-N lured the people to attend the convention in the name of biryani.
Former Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari, taking a jibe at Maryam said, “No wonder Pineapple Maryam wants to evade elections as long as Imran Khan is here.”
During Wednesday’s jalsa, the PML-N leader didn’t hesitate to call out the judiciary. Without naming anybody, she advised the facilitators not to help PTI Chairman Imran Khan, as he had always let his helpers down. She said that former chief justice Saqib Nisar and Justice Khosa hatched a conspiracy against Nawaz Sharif and selected Imran Khan.
Maryam declared Supreme Court (SC) judge Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, “a facilitator of Imran Khan, whose corruption case is awaiting trial at the Supreme Judicial Council”.
Pointing to Chief Justice (CJ) Umar Ata Bandial, Maryam said that the line of people seeking justice in courts is longer than the queue waiting for free flour.
Maryam said the CJP said that the government has money for laptop schemes but does not have Rs20 billion for elections in Punjab.
She said that they have Rs20 billion for elections in Pakistan one time, not thrice. She reiterated that there is no guarantee that the PTI would accept the outcome of these elections if they lose it.
