Shehbaz in prison for 100 days ‘with unproven charges’

PML-N Secretary Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that party President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif has been behind bars for the last 100 days without any proof of corruption.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Marriyum said (Prime Minister) Imran Khan had held Shehbaz and PML-N leader Khawaja Asif hostage to force the PDM into granting the corrupt, incompetent, disastrous, and imposed PTI government an NRO.

“Imran knows he is an unqualified, inept and incapacitated phony, which is why in his prejudice and insecurity, he had kept Shehbaz imprisoned.

“Imran is aware of the fact that unlike him, Shehbaz is fully prepared, competent, able and skilled to successfully run the country.”

The former information minister said that the NAB-Niazi unholy alliance could illegally abduct and detain Shehbaz in fake cases but it could not prove a single penny of corruption against him.

The fabricated and fake documentary evidence waved around at a news conference by “selected Imran’s stooges” hold no value in the court of law, which is why they are not presented by the “imposed regime” in court, she added.

She said with Shehbaz locked up, the government had a “free card to loot Rs200 billion from public sugar, Rs225 billion from people’s flour, and Rs500 billion from public medicine and fuel”.

“With Shehbaz out of the way, the PTI is robbing public’s electricity and gas while hiking their tariffs beyond the reach of Pakistanis.

“Imran has arrested Shehbaz so that no one can hold him accountable over his promise to provide 10 million jobs and five million homes to the poor.”

Marriyum said, “The insecure, frightened and desperate for an NRO ‘selected Prime Minister Imran’ wants Shehbaz to remain behind bars so that he and his hoard of likeminded corrupt gang can get an NRO over the Rs126 billion worth of potholes in the Peshawar Metro made with public money.”
