ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information Dr. Firdous Ashiq has said that opposition should appreciate Prime Minister Imran Khan’s steps for self-accountability.
In a tweet, Dr. Firdous Ashiq criticised the opposition party by saying that opposition should appreciate Imran Khan instead of politicizing the investigative report on sugar and wheat crisis.
اپوزیشن رپورٹ کوسیاسی رنگ دینے کی بجائے عمران خان کے جذبے کوسراہےجس نے تاریخ میں خوداحتسابی کی روشن مثال قائم کی۔حکومت پروارکرنے کی بجائے اپوزیشن کواپنا حساب دیناپڑے گا۔ان کی تاریخ مفادات کے ٹکراؤسے بھری ہے۔قوم نہیں بھولی جب بیٹا باپ کو،تایابھتیجےکواورصدرانورمجیدکو سبسڈی دیتاتھا

Firdous Awan said that the opposition should be the one to hold itself accountable instead of criticizing the incumbent government for granting contracts to their family members in their tenures.
Awan further said that more than 50 percent of the country’s sugar mills are owned by the six families by adding that these families barred the other classes by profiting from policies of past rules. “But this will not happen in ‘Naya Pakistan’,” she asserted.
وزیراعظم عمران خان نے اپنے عمل سے ثابت کیاکہ قانون سے کوئی بالاترنہیں۔عمران خان یاان کے خاندان میں کسی کی کوئی شوگرمل نہیں۔رپورٹ پبلک کرنادلیل ہےکہ وزیراعظم کی ترجیح افرادکانہیں پاکستان کے عوام کے مفاد کا تحفظ ہے۔عوام کے مفاد کے سامنے جوآئے گاعمران خان اس کے راستے کی دیواربنے گا

The tweets of Awan are the result of a statement made earlier by Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb as she claimed that the incumbent government fooled people in the name of responsibility.
While criticising the incumbent government, Marriyum Aurangzeb said that shuffling the federal cabinet involved in wheat and sugar crisis is not self-accountability. An act of responsibility should begin with Prime Minister as he approved the decisions of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), she added.
According to Aurangzeb, the government is making a fool out of masses in the name of so-called self-accountability.
