Hitting out: Marriyum lashes out at Sharjeel Memon

ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb has taken strong exception to the accusations levelled by Sharjeel Memon against Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

In a statement issued on Sunday she said, “Chaudhry Nisar is actually engaged in gathering the filth of corruption that you [Sharjeel Memon] indulged in during your tenure as minister. No amount of crying and sabre-rattling can save you from the process of accountability”.

Repudiating Memon’s outburst against the interior minister, Marriyam said, “The nation has reposed its confidence in Chaudhry Nisar by appointing him as the interior minister who is striving to cleanse Pakistan of the scourge of terrorism in conformity with the vision of the prime minister.
