ISLAMABAD: PMLN Secretary Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has slammed Imran for his threatening statements and desperate petty jabs at PMLN Leadership and raised serious questions regarding Imran Khan’s mental fitness to hold prime Minister’s office after his Sunday public address.
She said she had already expressed concern over Imran Khan’s mental health but his public address had raised even more serious questions regarding his mental fitness to hold the office he was imposed upon in 2018. When he was ranting and rambling from the container, he used to threaten that once he would be in power he would go after everyone, and after 4 years of being in power he was threatening that he wouldn’t spare anyone if he was booted out of power. Threatening the people, the bureaucracy, the judiciary, national institutions, the parliament of Pakistan, only reflects Imran’s own fears. This threat was a confession that Imran’s government was a product of RTS manipulation, because had it been through the people’s vote, he wouldn’t need to fear his ouster by anyone else, nor would he need to threaten the people or anyone else. Imran talks about taking to the streets, he should know that people of Pakistan crushed by this imposed government, were waiting for him on every street to punish him for making their lives miserable, she said.
The former Information Minister said Pakistan and the entire world had already seen the truth of both of Imran’s threats about on-street agitation and being in power. In both cases the country and its people suffered. When he was on the streets he inflicted damage to Pakistan’s -economy and global perception. When he got into power he ran the most vicious campaign of political victimization, jailing his political opponents in death row cells over trump-up charges, violating their privacy by raiding their homes over false pretexts and creating an economic and political crisis in Pakistan. The opposition had now not only braved that persecution-spree but had been vindicated from all those false accusations not only by courts in Pakistan but abroad as well, she stressed. It was now time for Imran to be held accountable for the havoc he played with Pakistan, its institutions, its economy and its people, she said. The opposition, especially PMLN had already faced and won in this fight, who exactly was Imran threatening then? Was he threatening the judiciary, the national institutions?, she asked.
“How dare he call the people of this nation who criticize him, degenerates, she lambasted. The people who criticize Imran and his imposed regime were brow deep into the hell-hole created by Imran and his failures. He stole the public’s flour, sugar, medicines, electricity, gas, petrol and LNG to help his ATMs make trillions from the pockets of the nation. What else did he expect after such a disastrous performance”, she lambasted.
She said this speech by Imran was a speech of a man who had realized that he was proven himself as an incompetent and clueless person who had been caught red handed with corruption and had already lost. It was an outburst of a desperate, frustrated loser who was consumed by the fear of losing power, that he never deserved. This speech was a good news for the nation because it clearly showed that Imran had already accepted his fate that his time in office was over.
Marriyum lashed out at Imran saying, “How dare you call Shehbaz a criminal. Imran had proven that he was the greatest criminal in the history of this country who had destroyed national economy; impoverished tens of millions; snatched livelihoods and jobs of tens of millions; destroyed the political fabric of this country; violated the constitution, parliamentary rules and electoral laws and set the country on-course for annihilation. Imran the top-criminal robbed people’s pockets with Rs 500 billion corruption in gas; created false shortage by exporting 1.1 million tones of sugar and selling sugar from Rs 50 to Rs 110, and then again made billions by importing sugar; created wheat shortage by first exporting 6 million tones and then imported it at expensive rates and jacked up flour cost from Rs 32 to Rs 90; dug up potholes worth Rs 120 billion in BRT Peshawar and buses that catch fire the moment they are put on the road; caused the fall of Kashmir to India; insulted the Parliament; weakened the federation of Pakistan; destroyed every department; responsible for return of terrorism in Pakistan; money-laundered billions in foreign funding through Sahir Iqbal, Muhammad Nauman Afzal, Muhammad Arshad, Muhammad Rafique and others that has those 26 secret illegal accounts; increased DAP fertilizer from Rs 2400 to Rs 9,700; created shortage of Urea and the list goes on. These crimes and more were a small measure of what a criminal Imran Khan is. Meanwhile, Shehbaz Sharif saved over Rs 1 trillion of the nation when he was in power, which was a part of the official record of this country. This was even beyond, legal, constitutional and official call of duty, Shehbaz did it because he works for the country and its people not for cuts from ATM. He benefitted the farmers of this country even though it meant inflicting loss to this own family’s business. He established school, hospitals, roadways, mass transit systems, technological advancements; electricity power plants; LNG plants; ring roads; laptop scheme; stood with farmers and set up projects and scheme that Imran couldn’t even dream of completing which was why he couldn’t digest Shehbaz Sharif’s success.
Had Imran done anything of substance or value over the past 4 years of his government, Imran wouldn’t have had to pursue an agenda of political victimization and propagation of false accusations and lies about Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif. Even before opening his mouth about Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, Imran should remember that Nawaz Sharif left his ailing wife on the death-bead and came to Pakistan with his daughter Maryam to face these false cases. Imran is so obsessed with Nawaz and Shehbaz Sharif because he knew that the people of Pakistan now unequivocally believe that Imran should step down to make way for Nawaz and Shehbaz because only they have the solution to the crisis created by the Imran-led regime. Because he knows that Nawaz and Shehbaz do not need to wait for the umpire’s signal at D-Chowk. Because he knows that Nawaz and Shehbaz would use the democratic system to not only send Imran home, but hold him accountable for all of his crimes that had turned a progressing country into an socioeconomic disaster.
