Imran, Alvi, Govt Members Desperate for NRO, Not Opposition – Marriyum
PMLN Secretary lnformation Marriyum Aurangzeb says the incompetent PTI government didn’t have a clue on how to go about the FATF related legislation which is why the parliamentary committee was constituted by the Speaker to review the legislation.
Responding to Shibli Faraz’s statement, Marriyum said the approval for the Committee was given by the Parliament. Did the speaker ask for an NRO or did the entire Parliament did?, she questioned.
The former Information Minister said this document waving and tweeting by Shibli Faraz shows his clear absence of confidence in the Speaker. She said his statements are an open indictment of the parliamentary committee which also includes government members who are wanted in the Mallam Jabba case, Peshawar BRT, billion tree tsunami, Helicopter Case, 23 secret accounts, foreign funding case, sugar and wheat theft and corruption.
She said the members of opposition have already braved illegal custody and imprisonment by NAB in death row cells and have been vindicated by the Supreme Court and the High Court. The International Rights Bodies have already issued a change sheet against the NAB-Niazi alliance for being an instrument of political engineering and victimisation, she said. Would the opposition demand an NRO under all these circumstances, or those who have been dodging the NAB and the courts, including the President and the Prime Minister ?, she asked.
Marriyum reiterated he challenge to Imran Khan and his stooges to name those who asked for NRO. She said the selected Prime Minister has no power or authority to grant an NRO, she added.
