Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz, while referring to the incumbent ruler, said that the one who staged a 126-day sit-in in Islamabad couldn’t stand the legitimate protest of government employees.
“Fake rulers should inflict as much harm as they can themselves withstand,” Maryam said, adding that resorting to violence and firing tear gas shells on protesting employees are the incumbent regime’s cruel tactics.
“The sacrifices being rendered by the employees actually signal an end to the oppressive, anti-public, vote-thief and commission-fed government,” she remarked.
Maryam noted that thrashing employees who are only putting forth their rightful demand, including that of a pay raise, is a sign of cruel leaders.
“The whole nation has now seen the fascist and dictatorial face of the claimant of Western democracy,” the PML-N leader lamented.
She said the government was suppressing the masses who have been under the debt of inflation for the past three years. “It is the first government that, despite causing inflation to rise fourfold, did not raise salaries of government employees by even a single rupee,” she maintained.
Maryam vowed to raise her voice for the employees and highlight the ill-treatment meted out to them at the parliament and all other forums. She demanded the government to immediately release all the arrested employees.
