Marriyum censures Imran over politicking sans national interest

Author: APP

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday came down hard on Imran Khan alluding him to Bal Thackeray saying “Bal Thackeray of Pakistan should reflect on the best interest of Pakistan before issuing his statements, rather than promoting his vested interest aimed at pushing his personal political agenda.

Talking to various news channels, she said the decision to hold the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final in Pakistan has been taken after detailed deliberations and in consultation with all relevant authorities.

Responding to recent statements issued by Imran Khan, she added that instead of criticising the Punjab government and the PSL for the sake of criticism, he should have been more forthcoming with resources and support from KP. “Through his carelessness and selfish approach to matters of national importance, Imran Khan has yet again disappointed the nation and strengthened our enemies.” She demanded that he should retract his statement.

She added that the whole nation is celebrating the decision that demanded courage and resilience on part of the government as well as masses. She concluded by saying that the decision of hosting the PSL final in Lahore is the manifestation of successful operations conducted against terrorists.
