Maryam Nawaz’s Threats Against Imran Khan’s Life Spark Alarm in Pakistan
Pakistan’s Political Turmoil
Maryam Nawaz’s statement is very alarming, threatening, conspiratic and hatred regarding the elimination of Imran Khan.. The Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf stated in a press conference here in Peshawar, that if there is even a slight movement regarding Imran Khan’s health, life, and safety, the people of Pakistan will take revenge on the streets and squares.
The Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf further said that they are neither used to this kind of language nor do they tolerate such threats. They want to convey to the “Escapers party” and the “Money Launderers family” that the people of Pakistan will not remain silent if anything happens to Imran Khan.
Accusations of Mandate Theft and Oppression
The Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf Mr. Waqas Akram Sheikh accused the current government of being “mandate thieves” and “fake rulers” who have committed various atrocities against the people of Pakistan since May 09. He claimed that in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh, there have been numerous instances of oppression and atrocities committed against their people.
Despite this, the Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf Sheikh waqas Akram said that their members were able to win a large number of seats in Punjab and KP assemblies, and a significant number of members also reached the national assembly by escaping from “these thieves and robbers.”
Sheikh argued that if the party’s politics was truly in its “last stages,” as claimed by the illegitimate chief minister Maryam Nawaz, then there would not have been a need for such oppression and atrocities, including the kidnapping of families, blackmailing, and buying of people.
Allegations of Corruption and Misgovernance
The Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf Sheikh waqas Akram accused the current government of being corrupt, stating that the corruption scandals have now shifted to London, where the government officials are allegedly engaging in various activities. He also criticized the performance of the Punjab government, alleging that the promised initiatives, such as solar power and loans, have not been implemented in the first quarter.
The Information Secretary of PTI claimed that the treasury of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has increased from 25 billion rupees to 175 billion rupees in just eight months, which is an “extraordinary achievement.” In contrast, they accused the Punjab government of mismanaging the wheat situation, leading to shortages and blockages of roads.
Threats and Legal Action
The party’s Information Secretary warned the current government that if anything happens to Imran Khan, the people of Pakistan will take revenge on the streets and squares. He also stated that they have handed over the matter to their legal team to explore legal options for protecting Imran Khan’s life and bringing him to KP, if necessary.
Mr. Waqas Akram emphasized that Imran Khan is making a sacrifice for the children and generations of Pakistan and that he prefers to stay in jail rather than make any deals. He expressed confidence that Imran Khan’s popularity remains high, with over 80% of the people supporting him.
Suspension of Party Members and Discipline
The Information Secretary of PTI revealed that four party members have been suspended for not voting against the constitutional amendment, as per party instructions. He stated that show-cause notices have been issued to these members, and the party will review their responses and decide on any further action, including the possibility of calling them for discussions.
The PTI leader stressed that Imran Khan is the only leader of the party, and no one should consider themselves as the leader in his absence. He reaffirmed that the party’s struggle for Imran Khan’s release will continue through legal and peaceful means.
Reaction to Constitutional Amendment
Regarding the 26th constitutional amendment, Mr.Akram clarified that their objection was not to the individual judge, Justice Yaya Afridi, but rather to the manner in which the amendment was made, particularly the violation of the principle of seniority on the bench formation. He stated that the party will challenge the amendment soon, once the legal committee makes a decision.
The Information Secretary emphasized that their opposition to the amendment was not personal but based on their belief that the process was flawed and undermined the judiciary’s independence.
Imran Khan’s Detention and Sacrifice
The Information Secretary PTI praised Imran Khan’s steadfastness, stating that he has refused to make any deals for his release and is willing to remain in jail as an example of tolerance and sacrifice. He refuted the notion by opponents that Imran Khan would not be able to spend more than 15 days in jail, highlighting that he has been in detention for more than 450 days.
