No plan to go abroad until govt sent packing, says Maryam

Will continue to dampen your hopes while remaining in Pakistan, PML-N vice president hits out at PTI govt

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that she has no plans of going abroad until the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan is sent packing.

In a tweet, Maryam said the government started hoping that she was going abroad for treatment after she postponed her political activities for a few days owing to illness.

"To dampen your hopes, let me tell you that Maryam does not intend to go anywhere until she sends you home," she remarked.

چند دن بیمار کیا ہوئی، کانپتی لرزتی حکومت کو امید ہوگئی کہ شاید مریم علاج کروانے باہر جانے لگی ہے۔ آپ کی امیدوں پر پانی پھیرنے کے لئے بتا دوں کہ مریم کا آپ کو گھر بھیجنے تک کہیں جانے کا ارادہ نہیں۔ مریم ادھر بیٹھ کر آپ کا علاج جاری رکھے گی انشاءاللّہ۔

The PML-N leader further said that she will continue to "treat" the government while remaining in the country.

Her statement came days after she and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who also heads PDM – the anti-government opposition alliance – postponed their political activities for a few days owing to ill health.

On Saturday, Maryam visited the LHC to submit a surety bond of Rs1 million for bail in the Jati Umra land allotment case.

On March 24, the LHC granted pre-arrest bail to PML-N's de facto chief Maryam Nawaz, who was summoned by the top graft buster – the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) – on March 26 for interrogation with regard to a land allotment case.

Azam Nazir Tarar, counsel for Maryam, had argued before the court that she had been implicated in the case with mala fide intention as the matter had already been taken by a joint investigation team in another NAB reference of 2017.
