Minister slams PML-N for defending PPP

Samsam Ali Bokhari says it is heart-rending to listen to Maryam Nawaz’s speech as it was based on foul language

LAHORE: Provincial Minister for Information and Culture Syed Samsam Ali Bokhari said that it is heart-rending to listen to Maryam Nawaz’s speech as it was based on foul language.

He said that it’s a great irony that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is now defending Pakistan People’s Party. Opposition parties have joined hands with one another on the pretext of nurturing grudge against Imran Khan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), added Information Minister.

He further said that Asif Ali Zardari had been put into jail during the two tenures of Nawaz Sharif so how come those hurling accusations against one another can become allies today? Those indulging in loot and plunder of debt amounting to Rs24,000 billion cannot go scot-free.

The minister said that Nawaz patronised the culture of politics from Model Town to Changa Manga.
