Senior Vice-president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz, has distanced herself from her party’s administration, stating, “This is not my government.”
Talking to a delegation of youth representatives in Lahore, the Chief Organiser of the party acknowledged that inflation is badly affecting poor people in the government but added that she was not a part of the current government.
The federal government is formed of a coalition of parties of which PML-N is the largest partner, holding the portfolio of Prime Minister and multiple ministries including Finance.
When asked about spiralling inflation, Maryam Nawaz said that PML-N is not responsible for it. “It will be our [PML-N’s] government when [party head] Nawaz Sharif will be in Pakistan,” she stated, adding that only he can take the country towards progress.
