The PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz, on Wednesday said that the government went to recover money from the party’s supremo Nawaz Sharif, however, its plan “backfired.”
Maryam, speaking to media, said that the government had carried out “systematic rigging” during the Daska by-election. She alleged that polling was intentionally slowed down to defeat the PML-N.
“The voters were kept out of the voting process by slowing down the polling process […] re-election is needed not only in the 20 constituencies but in the entire constituency,” she said.
Maryam claimed that the party had irrefutable evidence to prove rigging in the by-elections and demanded that the election commission serve justice to the people of Daska and Pakistan.
“Everyone knows who is involved in the rigging. I am waiting for them to tell the truth, or else I will bring forth the facts in front of the people,” she warned.
The PML-N leader, speaking on the Broadsheet LLC case, said that the government got more than it had bargained for in its bid to recover assets from Nawaz Sharif.
Furthermore, she took shots at the government, saying that “flour, sugar, and electricity thieves” had dealt losses to the national exchequer and that the people’s money is being spent on ‘revenge’.
