Imran’s is a cry of a thief: Marriyum

Says PTI chief trying to befool K-P people by installing new plaque on old projects

ISLAMABAD: State Minister of Information Marriyum Aurangzeb hit back on Imran after his tirade against the PML-N government, saying he was a living example of ‘a thief being boisterous about thieving.'

She also wondered whom was he trying to befool by installing new plaque in his name on the projects initiated by others?

In a statement issued on Thursday, she said that deception with the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), absconding from courts and hurling fabricated allegations on others was the hallmark of Imran's politics.



The minister said, “Imran relished accusing others of corruption but he himself locked the Ehtsab Commission to cover up the corruption and lies of the PTI government in K-P.”

Marriyum pointed out that installing a new plaque in Imran Khan's name was costing the K-P government five million rupees per day. She added that the federal government would have congratulated Imran if he had initiated a new project in the province and also advised him to seek training from the Punjab Chief Minister as to how new projects are launched.

Marriyum said that the anti-terrorism court in Islamabad pronounced the name of Imran Niazi even today and the lawyer of the fugitive once again demanded exemption from ECP on his behalf, which was waiting for his reply in the foreign funding case for the last two and a half years. She also asked Imran to reveal on whose helicopter he travelled from Chitral to Islamabad.
