Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Tuesday that those who were the beneficiaries of the ‘corrupt’ government made statements like the one which Defence Minister KhawajaAsif had made Monday.
Speaking in the National Assembly, the PTI leader appealed to the NA speaker to expunge the remarks Asif had made about PTI MNA Omar Ayub Khan’s late grandfather, General Ayub Khan, who was also the country’s president.
Then addressing the MNAs sitting on the government benches, the PTI chairman said that they were the losers. “You were the people who had maligned the Pakistan Army by saying they had a role in Mumbai terror attacks,” he said, adding, “Similarly you were those whose names had appeared in the Panama leaks.”
Barrister Gohar further said that even today both the PML-N and PPP did not have a majority in the NA. “Former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif did not congratulate the party’s candidates who were declared winners in the recently held general elections because he knew they were not the winners, but the losers.”
