Marriyum lambastes PTI women lawmakers

Information minister asks opposition MNAs to verify their resignations instead of ‘enjoying perks’

ISLAMABAD:

Lambasting the female lawmakers of PTI for attacking the parliament, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has advised them to verify their resignations instead of “climbing the Parliament House gate”.

Addressing the media on Thursday, she came down hard on the PTI women parliamentarians for leading a mob to attack the National Assembly. “They attacked the Parliament for which they do not work, but draw their salaries.”

Marriyum deplored the dramatic scene created outside the Parliament House by the female PTI MNAs who had been advised by the NA speaker to verify their resignations in person.

The information minister noted that no parliamentarian was stopped from entering the Parliament House but PTI’s female legislators staged a drama that turned into an attack on the parliament.

“The NA speaker has been waiting for them to verify their resignation, but no PTI member has turned up so far in order to continue enjoying the perks and privileges,” Marriyum said as she lashed out at the PTI leaders for passing statements about the country’s disintegration and denuclearization.

“The parliament was waiting for the PTI members for verifying their resignations, but ironically they were busy attacking the parliament,” she added. “All their vandalism at the parliament was recorded live on the cameras.”

The information minister said PTI members should stage a protest outside the residence of former PM Imran Khan in Bani Gala with pots and spoons because their leader was responsible for 16 per cent inflation, massive unemployment, huge foreign debt, trade deficit and economic devastation.

 “Let us serve the nation,” she concluded, asking Imran to rest by taking a tranquilizer.
