Govt cannot silence opposition: Aurangzeb

Former information minister calls PM Imran a compulsive liar

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has said the opposition would not remain silent over bad financial policies of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government which has caused inflation in the country.

Responding to Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry's statement, Marriyum said he should feel ashamed of defending a prime minister who is a compulsive liar and takes pride in his U-turns.

The former information minister stressed such crass statements by Chaudhry wouldn't silence the opposition as it would continue to question “this group of accomplished thieves running the government”.

“Opposition will not stop asking about lofty promises of five million houses and 10 million jobs for the poor, which the government has so far made no progress on,” she said adding the opposition will also inquire about undeclared assets of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan, the source of income of these assets and how these funds were transferred abroad.

She further claimed the opposition will also keep asking as to how many among those sitting on the treasury benches are enlisted in list of money launderers of over Rs800 billion to ten countries.

“Every Pakistani is demanding answers to these questions from the government and its U-turn PM,” she said adding no level of indecent statement can shun people's representatives from voicing their sentiments.
