ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb on Wednesday congratulated Imran Khan for his party’s defeat in Chakwal by-election. In a statement, she said, “The people of Pakistan, like always, have given their verdict in favour of the prime minister in the Chakwal by-election. They have strongly rejected the politics of disruption, chaos and false allegations that has been the hallmark of Imran’s politics, designed to obstruct the development process.” The minister also congratulated Imran on the inauguration of Bheki power plant by Nawaz Sharif, saying that the people were waiting for progress in Pakistan under the stewardship of the PM and not the Panama verdict. That was why they had voted for the PML-N candidate and sealed the victory for the party, she added. The minister said that the people had already announced their verdict and support for the PML-N in the by-elections, local body elections, polls in AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan and the victory in Chakwal had driven the last nail in the coffin of PTI. Marriyum said the politics of chaos and violence that Kaptaan had taught and preached to his party workers, was instrumental to incidents like the one in Mardan. The minister hoped that the prime minister would be vindicated tomorrow because 200 million Pakistanis were praying for him and had unwavering faith and trust in his leadership that believed in service to the people. She said that during the last four years Imran had done nothing except reckless indulgence in ridiculing the constitutional institutions, disgracing and denigrating opponents and hurling invectives at them. Now he had pinned all his hopes on the SC decision in the Panama case, she observed.
