Marriyum bashes ‘fake news’ of Nawaz entering into ‘deal’

Author: Agencies

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader Maryam Aurangzeb on Tuesday rejected “fake news” reported by certain media outlets implying that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif had struck a “deal”.

In a statement issued to media, the former state minister called the “fake news” were an attempt to influence results of July 25 polls.

“Nawaz refused to go to the hospital despite going through health issues,” the PML-N spokesperson noted, saying that it was “shameful” to accuse the former premier of entering into a “deal”.

Regretting propaganda against the PML-N supremo, she demanded the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of the “campaign” against the former premier after the end of electioneering. “We categorically reject all negative media reports, including the one regarding any deal,” Marriyum said.

She said the motive behind this propaganda was to perplex party’s voters.

“Nawaz Sharif is in prison for the sake of respect of the vote of people,” the PML-N spokesperson said.
