ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday asserted that the days of misrule by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s government had been numbered.
The PML-N leader made these remarks while talking to journalists outside the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC). Maryam said that the mechanism to change the government would soon be revealed before the people.
Maryam said the incumbent government’s performance couldn’t be termed bad, because there is no performance to judge. She added, “The sooner we get rid of their PTI’s incompetence, the better.”
“The whole nation is aware of the truth behind the controversy they are trying to stir,” she said, adding that despite going through a “trial” phase, not a single member of the provincial assembly of Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N decided to part ways with the party.
However, Maryam said, despite Imran Khan being the sitting prime minister, his party members do not respect him. She further criticized the government for its “failures”, saying, “Inflation, unemployment, the Murree tragedy, what more issues does one talk about.”
Further speaking of the Murree tragedy, she demanded the Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid respond to the incident as the government’s spokespersons were “trying to hide its incompetence”.
Last week, a day after asking PM Imran ‘tough questions’ about the party’s performance in K-P, Noor Alam assailed the PTI government in the lower house of parliament for “ignoring” the province and demanded that names of top cabinet members, including the PM Imran, be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL). The senior leadership of the party took notice of Alam’s criticisim of the PTI-led government.
