ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb on Wednesday said according to different surveys Nawaz Sharif was the most popular leader and the PML-N was the most popular party in the country.
Talking about surrender of terrorist outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Ehsanullah Ehsan and the revelations made by him spoke louder about the government’s success.
She said that the statement given by the TTP spokesman showed that terrorists were trying to mislead the youth in the name of religion and the nation should thank God that the writ of the state had been established through the efforts and sacrifices of security agencies and the contribution made by constitutional institutions of the country. She said Nawaz was a three-time elected prime minister and people had expectation from him which he was trying to fulfill through the projects in the domain of infrastructure, energy, transport and communication and by restoring peace in the country.
Marriyum pointed that during the last four years no corruption scandal had been reported in the country and the success stories of the PML-N government had been duly acknowledge the world over.
As against this, the PTI had a dismal track record in KP and the people of the province, particularly youth who believed in the lies of Imran had now realized their folly as the party had failed to deliver, she remarked. The minister said that Imran Khan had been an avowed critic of motorways and metro bus projects but now the KP government was in the process of preparing feasibilities of the same projects after four years.
Castigating Kaptaan for “hollow claims” about accountability, she said, “Those who claimed to hold accountability in 90 days, licked down the Accountability Bureau in the KPK when files of their own ministers for involvement in corruption were opened.”
Marriyum asked the skipper to wait for the elections in 2018 and let the people decide about his political future saying, “People will only vote for the party which delivers development projects and resolves their problems.”
The minister felt that Imran was afraid of the popularity of Marriyum Nawaz and that is why he had been trying to link her with one controversy or the other to tarnish her image. She also expressed disappointment on his assertion regarding two national anthems in the country. She urged the PTI chief to arrange clean drinking water, hospitals and schools for the people of KP.
