Information and Broadcasting Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Monday that PTI chief Imran Khan has no comparison with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) leader Nawaz Sharif, who has served as the country’s chief executive for three terms. Six army chiefs were appointed while living.
Imran Khan says that Nawaz Sharif cannot appoint an army chief, contrary to the fact that Nawaz Sharif had appointed six army chiefs. “The irony is that Imran Khan himself is begging, pleading and touching (others’) feet for the appointment of an army chief even though he is not so fortunate,” he said at a news conference. said while doing
Maryam said that Imran Khan can constitutionally remove the current government and appoint the army chief, but he does not have the required number for this purpose.
He added that Nawaz Sharif was constitutionally empowered to appoint the army chief, while “liar and thief” Imran Khan, who received foreign funding and traded national interests against diamonds and land, , was not entitled to it.
Maryam alleged that Imran Khan launched a malicious campaign against state institutions to achieve his nefarious goals and did not even spare the martyrs of the Pakistan Army who lost their lives helping people in flood-hit areas.
He claimed that he only wanted to make the appointment of the Army Chief controversial and that is why he gave calls for mutiny among the rank and file of the Pakistan Army.
He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has lost two more seats in the National Assembly after the by-elections. Technically, PTI lost eight seats as the resignation of Imran Khan (from NA) was not yet accepted.
The federal minister said that after the by-elections, the number of government votes in the National Assembly increased from 172 to 176. He further said that Imran Khan’s threats and bullying will not work because he can form the government only by constitutionally removing the incumbent, which was an impossible task.
