ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill said the arrest of Safdar Awan in Karachi was an orchestrated drama of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) after it failed in getting “NRO” from Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Addressing at a press conference today, Gill said that after the incident, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reportedly got angry and he met with Inspector General Police Sindh and subsequently police officers applied for leave.
“Then leaders in opposition asked the army chief, ISI chief and others to hold an inquiry into the matter,” he added. Two families who were ruling the country for the last 40 years have seemingly completed a doctorate degree in spreading lies, Gill added.
He said, “some characters have exposed the corruption of Sharif family and Maryam Nawaz wanted everyone to accept her stance.”
Gill claimed that the security guards of the political leaders were getting instructions after the door was where Maryam Nawaz stayed broken and some officials of the police department arrived at the location, adding that security guards had been presented as the personnel of security institutions.
“Why they are not providing their own footage of the incident. In every CCTV footage, a person is clearly seen while filming the video of policemen”. The person who was capturing the video was a professional as it filmed the incident by using a camera tripod, he said.
He further said the footage was firstly played in Lond and later in Pakistan. However, the CCTV footage gave a clear look at the door which was not broken. It has proved that the door was broken from inside.
Maryam wrongly claimed that her room door was broken in a hotel in Karachi and then channels were given wrong information and they tried to build a narrative against the institutions, Gill said.
The SAPM pointed out that both parties had opposite statements on the issue as the PPP chairman had appealed the army chief and ISI DG to investigate the matter whereas Maryam Nawaz called for a probe by the government and judiciary.
“If it is the matter of respect of women, then why other women were kept inside jails. If Maryam Nawaz is prevented from being jail to promote anti-state rhetoric, then other female inmates should be released. The dual-standard makes such persons act as monarchs.”
He recalled that the Sharif brothers threw indecent pictures of Benazir Bhutto from the airplane. Everybody saw the hooliganism of Safdar Awan and others at the mausoleum of Quaid e Azam, he reminded.
It seemed that with the arrest of Safdar Awan, Bilawal Bhutto took revenge from the Sharif brothers, he remarked.
He said the Indian media used the Karachi incident to unleash propaganda against the institutions and Pakistan army. The enemies of Pakistan were targeting China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the Pakistan army.
