Marriyum weigh in on Farrukh Saleem fiasco

PML-N spokesperson says PM, cabinet’s appointment notices must be shared

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Central Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has demanded in the aftermath of the Farrukh Saleem fiasco, appointment notifications of the Prime Minister and entire cabinet must be shared to avoid further confusion.

In a statement, the PML-N leader said the disgraceful and embarrassing situation created for the government in the Farrukh Saleem case had merited this demand.

“What if the PM or any of his ministers commit an irreparable blunder and then exonerate themselves saying they were not formally notified to that office,” jibes the former information minister adding the cabinet could claim all steps taken were a farce because they did not receive a notification.



She stressed that considering deplorable governance and one blunder after the other, it was even more essential to see these notifications in order to fix responsibility of these disasters later.

Marriyum demanded the government should bring forward their announced and unannounced advisers and the people of Pakistan should be told who sits in core government meetings without any official notification.

“FIRs must be registered against those impersonating and infiltrating meetings of national interest without any formal notification because this practice is raising many dangerous questions,” she said adding those who have lied regarding their positions should be tried in courts.
