Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday said that Maryam Safdar is spreading hatred in the people for gaining some political mileage against the government and she has even resorted to spreading misconceptions against the Election Commission and the state institution.
Addressing a press conference outside the Punjab Assembly here on Thursday, the Special Assistant to CM said that the government is duty-bound to inform the people about the facts when some political pygmies spread lies, adding that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) decision has sounded like a mortal blow to Maryam’s scathing narrative.
She said the credit goes to the PTI government that neither any children of a judge were taken hostage nor was any judge intimidated with money.
Gone are the days when some Chief Minister used to telephonically dictate a judge and the tape was leaked afterward.
The SACM said the applicant requested the ECP about some specific polling stations and the RO also requested for re-polling in some specific polling stations.
Meanwhile, the PTI leadership is holding consultations about the decision of re-polling in the whole constituency.
She regretted that the RO and the DMO violated the ECP rules and acted as a PML-N facilitator in Daska. After a detailed decision of the ECP, PTI will set its priorities, she said.
The SACM disclosed that legal notice will be issued to Uzma Bukhari for leveling baseless allegations of rigging and she should bring out proof if there is any or she should tender an apology.
Uzma Bukhari should remain ready to pay the fine if the apology is not tendered, she further said. The SACM reminded that Uzma Bukhari’s father sold his conscience as a lawyer of Raymond Davis and she also has a great lust for money.
The SACM maintained that the PML-N wants a replay of its humiliation in the Daska election and the two stooges of hereditary politics challenged Imran Khan after enjoying lavish food in the Jati Umrah estate.
She said the PM Imran Khan is striving to wriggle the democracy out of the clutches of the corrupt.
Responding to a question, the Special Assistant said that ‘Phoolan Devi’ of politics held a press conference with Yousaf Raza Gilani and it is irony of fate that Nawaz Sharif was the architect of conspiracies against Yousaf Raza Gilani in the past.
It seems that the Sharif family will split into two groups of Maryam and Hamza while the 11-party alliance is afraid of Imran Khan as he is fighting for honesty and transparency in politics.
Meanwhile, the tall claim of holding a long march has met a natural death.
To another question, Dr Firdous said PM Imran Khan proposed to hold re-polling on 23 polling stations.
Regrettably, the political cabal used big money and a section of media to make the election process controversial. I know that who is more loyal than the King and who is providing oxygen to dying politics of PML-N, she said.
