LAHORE: Punjab Information and Culture Minister Mian Aslam Iqbal have said the protest of opposition to save themselves from accountability would fail.

Speaking to the media persons at Aiwan-e-Iqbal on Sunday, the minister said the people of Pakistan will never come out for a protest on the call given by the ‘corrupt elements’.

He said Maryam Nawaz should account for corruption instead of leading rallies. The information minister said the opposition wants to create unrest in the country so as to achieve their nefarious designs. “The PML-N has fallen victim to its own contradictory statements and half of its leadership wants to strike a deal while the remaining wants to stage a protest,” he said. “With each passing day, the PML-N workers are also deserting its leadership.”

He said the PTI government wanted equal and strict accountability for everyone and Prime Minister Imran Khan would never strike a deal with any corrupt person. “Each and every single penny of national money will be retrieved,” he maintained.
