ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President and Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz said Saturday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s “selectors”, who brought him into power in 2018, are now “regretting” their decision.
Addressing the PML-N workers’ convention in Islamabad, Maryam said: “Your [Khan] selection committee has been dissolved, and the selectors have left for home.”
Her remarks came after accounts attributed to former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa were published in a column of a local newspaper.
“We kept trying to convince the prime minister [Imran Khan] against appointing Tarin as finance minister. I told the PM that Tarin, who failed to run his bank, will ruin the economy. The premier disagreed,” Gen (retd) Bajwa was quoted as saying by the journalist.
Reacting to the ex-army chief’s interview, Khan said that Gen (retd) Bajwa had accepted that he was behind the “regime change” move that led to his government’s removal.
“General Bajwa told the journalist with much pride how he had our government ousted due to economic policies and other matters,” Khan said during the interview.
The PML-N leader vowed that the Bhara Kahu flyover would be completed soon. She urged the people to compare the governance of PML-N and PTI during the past 10 years in Punjab and KP, respectively.
“Nawaz Sharif is called [back] whenever the country falls by the hands of the incompetent,” the PML-N leader added.
Maryam lashed out at the previous government of PTI and said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar should have made the person, who has restricted himself to Zaman Park, sit before the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for talks.
