ISLAMABAD, July 22(ABC): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb berated PTI Chairperson Imran Khan for criticising the chief election commissioner (CEC), saying Imran Khan is asking for a National Reconciliation Order (NRO) from the CEC due to the foreign funding case.
“Imran Khan is venting his anger on [the] CEC. However, Sikandar Sultan is not like NAB’s [National Accountability Bureau’s] ex-chairman Javed Iqbal, who would be threatened and blackmailed,” said Marriyum Aurangzeb while reacting to PTI chairman Imran Khan’s statement.
Responding to the allegations of former prime minister Imran Khan about buying votes for the chief minister election in Punjab scheduled for today (Friday), the federal minister said that Imran Khan was a liar, hypocrite and thief who had stolen elections in past.
“Imran used the money to steal votes in the election of 2018 and then in the elections of Senate, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Kashmir and Daska in Punjab,” she added.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said this was Imran Khan’s “political business” – to buy loyalties, adding that “his members in assemblies have also expressed no trust in him.”
The federal minister went on to say that Imran Khan wants a civil war in the country.
