Pakistan Muslim League-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that May 9 riots were not spontaneous attacks but rather were planned at Imran Khan’s residence in Lahore’s Zaman Park.
“This did not happen suddenly. This was an act of terror planned at Zaman Park,” she said while addressing a PML-N Youth Convention in Vihari.
“Even Pakistan’s worst enemies could not manage to do what Imran Niazi did.”
She questioned why Imran’s “miscreants” only targeted Corp Commander’s House. “Many government buildings came in the way but no one attacked them but they went straight to Corp Commander House,” she added.
Maryam said that Imran was not alone in attacking the military installation, saying that his “facilitators” were also on board. “I am saying this openly that this was an open rebellion against Pakistan Army and Imran was the leader of this act.”
She said that the process had started when Imran removed General Asim Munir as the DG ISI and replaced him with General Faiz Hameed.
The PML-N leader said that Nawaz Sharif and his daughter do not believe in revenge but they do believe in “makafaat-e-amal” (Karma).
“Imran, in his arrogance, thought if he dissolved NA, Punjab or K-P assemblies then he would win, he thought if he attacked Pakistan Army then he would emerge victorious but it did not happen,” she added.
She said that those who used to say “tera baap bhi dega azadi” (even your father will give freedom) were in a miserable position. “Fawad Chaudhry did not only leave the prison but also left PTI,” she added.
