Pakistan Muslim League-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb stated on Friday that former premier Imran Khan inviting the US to interfere in the country’s elections goes against Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Addressing a press conference along with party leader Ataullah Tarar, she questioned where was Imran’s slogan of “Absolutely Not. We are not slaves” went when he urged the US to adopt a tough stance on ‘rigging’ in the recent general elections in Pakistan. Marriyum said that if anyone has objections to election results, they should approach the Election Commission of Pakistan. She criticised the propaganda being spread regarding non-definite results in the media. She emphasised that while they are not the spokespersons for the ECP, these are the laws.
Furthermore, she accused the PTI of creating unnecessary “chaos and spreading anarchy” during the elections. Citing instances when similar situations occurred, the PML-N leader said that “the PTI was busy spreading chaos when the Chinese president was visiting; when electricity projects were being inaugurated”. “The RTS failed in 2018, and the PTI is talking about election rigging today?”. The PML-N leader argued that the PTI’s mindset is to spread chaos.
