ISLAMABAD:

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan a “jackal” for hiding behind his workers to prevent his arrest in corruption cases.

The minister, in a tweet, said ironically, Imran got bail in almost every case, whether it was related to “abusing a female judge or launching an attack on the court and police or concealing information about his [alleged] daughter from the court”.

Marriyum in a satire asked Imran whether this time he would go to the court by a “truck”.

“A proven jackal calls himself a leader,” she quipped.

The information minister held the PTI chairman responsible for economic destruction and inflation in the country.

In a tweet, she said the PTI chief, escaped from Zaman Park residence by dodging party workers, fearing imminent arrest in the Toshakhana case.

Sharing a picture of Nawaz Sharif, she said that genuine leaders bravely face arrest even in fake cases, but cowards like Imran Khan flee away.

Jesus Raza Washington USA | 1 year ago | Reply Illegitimate GOVT. of Crook Mafia Thieves and Looters and scammers of Coalition GOVT The PMO statement comes a day after hundreds of Pakistanis Americans gathered outside the White House on Sunday ignoring freezing cold and biting winds to demand an end to the government s actions against Imran. During the demonstration one of the protesters said that the establishment must realise its mistake . Another PTI supporter said Now is the time for the establishment to accept civilian supremacy. A statement distributed at the gathering also urged the international community to take action by calling on the installed regime in Pakistan to immediately cease violations of fundamental human rights stop custodial torture by security agencies hold free and fair elections in Punjab and KP cease victimisation of political opponents through arrests and false charges withdraw all politically motivated cases stop curtailing press freedom cease subjecting peaceful protestors to police brutality and release all political workers being held in custody on frivolous and trumped-up charges provide adequate security to Imran Khan and hold those responsible for the atrocities accountable under the law. Crooks and Mafia ruling Pakistan for 30 years Under the Protection of Pakistan Establishment This is a Blatant Crime against Humanity
