ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday declared the Broadsheet scandal as the biggest scandal of Pakistan’s history while terming it a fraudsheet, ARY NEWS reported.
Speaking during a protest demo of the PDM outside the ECP office in Islamabad, the PML-N leader said that the masses have declared the broadsheet scandal as a fraud sheet.
“How hard-earned money of masses was deposited in the British High Commission’s account which then led to a fake company taking it away?” she asked.
Maryam Nawaz lashed out at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and asked why the RTS system encountered issues in the middle of the voting process during the 2018 polls.
“It is the consequences of the ECP’s failure and silence during the polls that 220 million people of the country are suffering today,” she said.
She further blamed the incumbent authorities for an unprecedented hike in prices of commodities owing to their unpreparedness.
