Imran Khan wants unrest in country to achieve his agenda: Marriyum

Lahore: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Sunday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan wanted to create unrest and instability just to achieve his agenda as he had nothing to do with the country’s economy and progress.

Addressing a press conference at Model Town here, she said Imran Khan was doing politics over the bodies of his workers. Now people were asking questions from Imran Khan about his long marches, politics over the death of party workers, cypher conspiracy, money laundering, Toshakhana, Tyrian White case and others, she said and added that three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had always appeared before courts in cases registered against him and always respected the judiciary.

He never talked of creating chaos and anarchy in the country, she added. The other PML-N leaders had also appeared before the courts always. The PML-N never used their workers and followers for the sake of politics as it did not believe in such politics, she added.

Marriyum said that whenever the courts summoned Imran Khan, he used various tactics to evade appearance and maligned the judiciary and system. A murder case was registered against Imran Khan by the Punjab police on the basis of evidence including video footage, adding that Imran Khan was the only beneficiary of death of Zille Shah. The PML-N and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif had never indulged in politics of revenge, but Imran Khan, during his tenure, used every tactics to victimise his political opponents, particularly the PML-N leadership.

She said PTI worker Zille Shah’s body was shifted to a hospital in a PTI leader Raja Shakeel’ s vehicle and the police and Rescue 1122 were not approached for the purpose. She said that the Punjab police had solved the case through footage and other evidence, and revealed all facts and figures. If Imran Khan was aggrieved over the death of Zille Shah, why he preferred to stay at home for hatching a conspiracy, aiming to blame the government over the death.

The PTI leadership insisted to the father of Zille Shah to blame the government for his son’s death. Marriyum said that the federal government, despite the challenging circumstances owing to International Monetary Fund programme agreement, had announced biggest-ever Ramzan package to provide relief to people of the country.
