ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Shibli Faraz hit back at the claims made by PML-N leader and former Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, saying that the opposition was scared of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s success.
“The opposition only believed in the sanctity of the chaddor and char dewari when it came to PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz,” he said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.
The information minister further said, “Have they forgotten when the shot at the faces of pregnant women in Model Town? Or when they dropped Benazir Bhutto’s pictures from helicopters?”
“Opposition had also mentioned the country’s first lady during their speeches, who is not involved in politics,” he said, adding that the opposition has fallen so low that they were not willing to let anyone go.
Shibli Faraz also said that currently, the country needed a stable environment for fostering economic growth. “However, the opposition wants to damage the democracy and the country,” he claimed.
“The opposition was scared of PM Imran’s success. If he is successful then your politics will end,” he said, adding that a glimpse of this was seen during the handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Highlighting the Khaqan’s LNG case, Shibli said, “Khaqan Sahab you are the biggest violator. Have you forgotten the LNG deals you made? Why are gas prices going up? It’s because of you.”
