Imran trying to drag institutions into politics: Marriyum

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb says Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan is trying to drag institutions into politics for saving his skin in corruption cases.

In an interview with a private news channel, she said Imran Khan is regularly criticizing the state institutions because they have a complete record of his corruption.

The Information Minister said the recent violence incidents in the country have blatantly exposed the fascism of PTI Chief.

She said the PTI workers burnt schools, state buildings, ambulances and mosques after Imran Khan’s arrest in a corruption case.

She said it was not a public reaction but an armed assault on public and private properties as part of a premeditated plan.

The Information Minister said the government will take stern action against those involved in the vandalism and arson, so that nobody dares to take such misadventures in future.

She said the Interior Minister has received all details of those who were involved in the abhorrent and unpardonable incidents.

Marriyum Aurangzeb lauded the law enforcement agencies for exercising full restraint against the violent workers of PTI who pelted stones at them and even resorted to firing on their vehicles.
