Who attacked police if Bushra was alone at Zaman Park: Maryam
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday likened Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan to the extremist Indian organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as police and his party workers clash in Lahore.
Scores of police personnel and PTI supporters were injured in clashes as the law enforcers have been engaged in intermittent operations at Zaman Park since March 14.
“If anyone had any doubt, Imran Niazi’s antics of the last few days have laid bare his fascist & militant tendencies,” the prime minister said in a tweet. “From using people as human shields to throwing petrol bombs at police to leading ‘jathas’ to intimidate judiciary, he has taken a leaf out of the RSS book,” he added.
Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz, the chief organiser of PML-N, has rejected PTI chief Imran Khan’s claim that his wife Bushra Bibi was alone at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore when Punjab police conducted a ‘surprise search operation’ there earlier Saturday.
Imran took to social media to announce that, “Punjab police have led an assault on my house in Zaman Park where Bushra Begum is alone”.
Reacting to his statement, Maryam in a series of tweets, said if there was only a woman present inside the house then who was “firing bullets and throwing petrol bombs at the police from inside?”
She also shared a purported video on her Twitter timeline wherein a man can be seen throwing some explosive from the PTI chief’s Lahore residence.
“Didn’t I say that this [PTI] is a terrorist group whose leader is housing miscreants and trained terrorists in his house to avoid the law and punishment? Previously, such scenes were seen only in matters related to terrorism. Shameful!,” she added.
In another tweet, Maryam said brave politicians do not fear arrest and accountability. “Only thieves, bandits and terrorists fear arrest and accountability.”
