ISLAMABAD: PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is not a king or Nawab of state and he will also be held accountable.
Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Maryam said “The people are looking towards the Opposition [hoping] that someone raises their voice for them. The no-trust motion is a risk that must be taken,”
The Opposition’s efforts to bring a no-trust movement to topple the incumbent government is a risk that must be taken, she added.
She said that the people would hold the Opposition responsible if it doesn’t respond to their concerns.
The PML-N leader said that the premier starts speaking ill of other countries whenever he visits a country.
“He ruins the [friendly] relations with another country on his way back to Pakistan,” she said.
According to Maryam, Pakistan stands alone in the international community and not even its friends are willing to help.
“Imran Khan didn’t only destroy the economy, but also the foreign policy [of Pakistan]. He went to China to ask for money but he couldn’t even get that.”
Maryam requested PM Imran Khan to avoid making foreign visits. She said that the premier should be “locked inside a room of the Prime Minister’s House” for now.
Maryam asked all the parties, including the political allies of the ruling party, to step forward for the people’s cause because it is a battle between the people and power.
The Opposition leader said that the journalists criticised the PML-N’s government in the past but it never targeted anyone.
She asked the premier if he was a personality who cannot be criticised.
Speaking about the recent hike in the petrol prices, Maryam said that the PTI-led government increased Rs12 in a single blow.
