LAHORE – PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Sunday(March-12) launched a broadside at PTI Chief Imran Khan, saying he was postponing the election rally due to the fear of the police.

Taking to Twitter, she heaped praise on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo Nawaz Sharif, saying, “The one who left no stone unturned in bid to face the challenges posed by Musharraf & played a vital role in the independence of judiciary is Nawaz Sharif.”

On Saturday(March-11), PML-N senior vice president Maryam Nawaz claimed that only her party could combat inflation which continues to surge, making it difficult for the poor segments of society to have a square meal.

Amid spiralling food prices, the weekly inflation rate in Pakistan surged to 42.27 per cent – highest weekly YoY number since September last – on an annual basis during the outgoing week as the cash-strapped country implemented conditions laid forth by the IMF to revive the stalled loan programme.

According to the PBS, the weekly inflation measured by the Sensitive Price Indicator recorded a rise of 1.37% until March 9(Thursday), with major increase observed in the prices of food items.

PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz stated this while chairing a party meeting in Faisalabad where organisational structure of the party was reviewed & recommendations for enhancing cooperation among PML-N wings were discussed. Ms Maryam said the PML-N was the only party that could reduce inflation & put the country on the road to prosperity. She reiterated her demand for equal standards of justice in the country.

Lamenting unethical social media practices, Maryam Nawaz asked the PML-N workers to play their role to combat such trends. The social media wing of PML-N had to take up the responsibility to end the hatred in society, Ms Maryam said.

On Friday, Maryam Nawaz launched a broadside at PTI Chief Imran Khan, saying the latter had dragged the country to quagmire.

Addressing a convention, Ms Maryam bashed Imran Khan over reaching an agreement with the IMF, saying, “Imran Khan had left the country in severe economic hardships by reaching an agreement with the international lender.”

Maryam Nawaz said, “When the court asks Imran to appear before the court, he makes excuses. Khan remains ready for staging rallies, but gets ill in connection with appearing before the court.”

Ms Maryam took a jibe at Imran Khan, saying, “Why PTI workers come to protect Imran Khan. Imran Khan should protect himself with the money he plunders.”
