Those involves in malicious campaign against state to be dealt as per law: Marriyum

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has emphatically stated that those involved in malicious campaign against the state institutions will not be spared and taken to task as per the law.  

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad this afternoon, she said there will be zero tolerance towards these wicked and mischievous elements.   

The Information Minister said investigation is continuing into May 9 violent incidents, which were executed, planned and orchestrated by the PTI Chairman.

She said this is the only person who desecrated the memorials of martyrs and is involved in the attacks on military installations and other buildings including Radio Pakistan.

Marriyum Aurangzeb said the PML-N leadership always appeared before the courts and faced the trumped up cases registered during the PTI tenure.

She, however, said the PTI Chairman is making hue and cry to deflect accountability. She said the PTI Chairman should appear in courts and respond in corruption cases including Toshakhana, foreign funding and Al-Qadir Trust. 

The Information Minister said the PTI Chairman is a black spot on our politics who incites people for violence and preaches terrorism.

Responding to a question, the Information Minister said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif over the last one year has made efforts to stabilize the economy and provide relief to the common man. She said the economic revival plan rolled out by the government will benefit the people.

To another question, the Information Minister said the government will complete its constitutional tenure. She said the party, which has always given relief to the people, eliminated terrorism and stabilized the economy is not running from elections.
