FAISALABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz on Friday assured party workers and supporters of a resounding victory in upcoming general elections, ARY News reported.
Addressing party workers in Miani town of Faisalabad, PML-N leader said that her party’s government faced all threats and conspiracies to complete its five year term and now its voters’ turn to bring it back to power.
“Don’t be afraid, you, with your vote, are more powerful than conspirators. Do come out in large numbers and vote of Lion (PML-N’s electoral symbol),” said Maryam Nawaz.
Traitor? who?
She was of the view that “conspirators” ousted her father, former premier Nawaz Sharif, over iqama for he did not bow before them and resign.
“They ousted him over an iqama (work/residence permit), then disqualified him but couldn’t decrease his (Nawaz Sharif) popularity … when all else failed, they dubbed him a traitor over Mumbai attacks statement,” said Maryam Nawaz, adding that the conspirators forgot that former ISI chief had written a whole book full of such controversial claims.

She asked if Durrani, the former ISI chief, who wrote a book with his Indian counterpart will ever be dubbed a traitor.
“Will he be dubbed a traitor? will a National Security Committee meeting be called upon his claims? will a joint statement be issued?,” asked Maryam Nawaz.

It is pertinent to note here that last month, deposed premier Mian Nawaz Sharif, in an interview with a leading English daily, said that “militant organisations are active” in Pakistan and asked the interviewer if the state should allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai.
PML-N supreme leader’s stance on the ‘Mumbai Attacks’ triggered a flood of criticism from analysts, politicians and general public in Pakistan.
The hue and cry over his statement was not over when former ISI chief Asad Durrani’s controversial book ‘The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace’ was released.
The former ISI chief had co-authored the book with a former Indian spy chief AS Daulat.
Pakistan Army not only called Durrani to GHQ for an explanation but his name has been put on Exit Control List.
