ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Sunday asserted that Prime Minister Imran Khan shoved Usman Buzdar after seeing his government’s ship sinking.
The PML-N vice president expressed her views while addressing the joint opposition’s public gathering titled “Inflation March” against the PTI-led government in Islamabad on Monday night.

Earlier in the day, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) announced PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi as its candidate for Punjab chief minister after incumbent Usman Buzdar presented his resignation to the prime minister.
Meanwhile, PML-Q leader Tariq Basheer Cheema announced he had resigned from the federal cabinet and would support the opposition in the no-confidence vote.
These big developments came less than an hour after the opposition formally tabled a no-confidence resolution against PM Imran in the National Assembly.
“Those hearts and minds filled with arrogance are abound to meet the same fate as today [prime minister] Imran Khan is facing,” said Maryam today at the start of her address at the rally.
She further said, “Today we have gathered here under the leadership of Maulana Fazlur Rehman to bid farewell to Imran Khan,” adding that the premier has “lost the confidence” of not only parliamentarians but members of his own party.
Maryam also mocked the prime minister for claiming that foreign elements were conspiring to topple his government. “foreign conspirators must have informed Imran Khan about their plot through black magic or delivered a letter through pigeon,” she said.
“Did US president Joe Biden was behind defection in your party. The country is being run through black magic,” she remarked. Maryam also claimed that a “shocking scandal” involving PM Imran will be revealed soon. “Time has come to give final push to this government and raise slogan, Goodbye,” she added.
Earlier, the PML-N rally led by Maryam and Hamza Shehbaz entered the federal capital to participate in the anti-government show.

The caravans of the constituent parties of the PDM – mainly the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) – had set off for the federal capital from across the country few days ago and are converging on Islamabad today.
Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), the anti-government alliance, had announced staging a rally in response to ruling PTI’s power show that was held in Islamabad on Sunday amid opposition’s attempt to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan through no-trust vote in National Assembly.
