ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz today (Monday) has asserted that she would not become an ‘easy prey’ for the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
“The NAB’s cases against me are political and based on revenge,” the PML-N leader said while talking to journalists in Lahore. However, she said, the NAB would no longer be allowed to take revenge and save Imran Khan’s sinking ship.
Maryam Nawaz said, “I have exposed NAB after tolerating their revenge but now if Imran Khan’s government has come into difficulty and his ship is sinking, NAB will not be given the opportunity to save it “
“I will not become easy prey for NAB this time,” she said, referring to the violence that had erupted during her last appearance at NAB’s office in Lahore. Talking about the NAB’s security measures, Maryam said it was perhaps for the first time that its office was being declared a Red Zone.
She further said, “This shows how much fear there is of an unarmed woman.” Referring to last year’s clash, Maryam claimed that during her appearance at the NAB in August 2020, the bureau had made a murder attempt on her.
“They fired at my car with a laser gun. They pelted me with stones, the whole world saw those videos. And now, NAB has called me and declared it a Red Zone,” she added.
In August of last year, PML-N workers and police had clashed outside the NAB office on Multan Road. As a result, many people, including some officials, were injured and around 50 men were rounded up after police fired tear gas besides hurling back stones at the activists, with each side blaming the other for triggering the clash.
