ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that Pakistan is heading towards development and prosperity without caring about anti-developmental elements.

Talking to media outside the Supreme Court on Monday, she said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has presented himself as well as his family before the apex court for accountability despite of having all constitutional rights.

She said, however, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is avoiding from its own accountability and ridiculing the constitutional institutions of the country as the party is involved in mega corruption scandals. The minister said that Hussain Nawaz presented himself before Joint Investigation Teams (JIT) despite of objection and he did so just for the trust of people of Pakistan over three-time elected prime minister.

She said that the matter would be decided according to law and constitution. She said that the prime minister and his family not used any legal right. She said that Hussain Nawaz submitted his objection in Supreme Court and not did politics while standing on the road.

She said that Imran Khan could not do anything and progress of country is not the purpose of Imran Khan. She said that Imran will not be allowed to flee. She said that he flees from parliament on every important occasion. She said today budget of Pakistan’s development is being presented and Imran again fled from the parliament.

She said that on the one hand prime minister is giving accountability of his three generations and even he is not using the rights enjoying under the constitution. She said that on the other hand there is a person who is speaking lie and mocking the institutions and stopping the progress of the country.

The minister said that the nation will reject this person in 2018 elections and he will have to leave Pakistan after 2018. She said Imran will have to respond. She said that the PTI is doing politics of blame game and anarchy in the country for sake of getting results as per its desire but courts of the country always give decisions on basis of strong evidences.

Marriyum said that in 1998 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made defence of country impregnable through caring out nuclear tests and now he is making economy of Pakistan impregnable through initiating China Pakistan Economic Corridor Project in the country.

She said that matter of JIT will be resolved according to law and constitution of country. She said that all the required proofs are being given to the JIT in order to ensure a transparent investigation.
