Imran is the real 'rat' eating up country's resources: Maryam

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz fired a broadside at Prime Minister Imran Khan for calling opposition leaders 'mice', saying it was the premier who had eaten up flour, sugar, masses' peace, and the country's prosperity like a 'rat'.

While addressing a presser flanked by party's senior leader Hamza Shehbaz in Gujranwala on Sunday, Maryam said the premier was the biggest 'rat' who was 'selected' into power in 2018.

Maryam went on to accuse PM Imran of making attempts to delay the no-trust move through the National Assembly speaker.

She alleged the premier of using taxpayers' money to organise his party's rallies and said he should be held accountable for the same.

She criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman for using certain 'religious slogans' to put his agenda forth.

Maryam also took the premier to task for using his constant use of abusive language against the opposition.

She also alleged that the premier was using the 'corruption card' to cover his failures, as numerous scandals in his own government continued to surface.

She opined that Imran was once again at the D-Chowk, terming it a 'square-one', not because of an international conspiracy but because of his 'deeds'.

The PML-N leader said, "PTI lawmakers and allies have already cast a 'no-trust move' against the PM and he should accept it".

Commenting on the PM's remarks regarding the 'triumph card', she said the only card Imran was left with was to step down, go home, parts ways with politics and leave the country.

Regarding the ruling party's foreign funding case, she said the prime minister was himself involved in corruption and wouldn't evade the consequences with his cunning ways.

She announced on the occasion that Nawaz would make a return to the country as he is a "son of the soil". Concluding, she said her party had all the evidence and won't let the premier escape punishment.
