Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has advised former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to launch ‘Doob maro’ movement instead of ‘Jail bharo’ movement.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the information minister challenged him to become the first to voluntarily surrender before police, saying that the party’s leadership surrenders first to kick off ‘jail bharo’ movement.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said that those who shed tears after facing imprisonment for just two days, could never make jail bharo movement a success. “The PTI chief has made party workers a shield for his politics”, she said.

She gave a breakdown that several Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders had spent behind bars without seeking a compensation from the then PTI government. “Nawaz Sharif had spent 374 days in jail, Shehbaz Sharif 340 days, Hamza Shehbaz 627 days, and Maryam Nawaz 157 days, without seeking a compensation,” she added.
The minister further said that PML-N leadership has presented its record of past four years and now Imran Khan will have to answer for the deteriorating economy, security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and taking the country back to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
She claimed that Imran Khan surrendered the country’s economy to International Monetary Fund (IMF), pointing out that the former premier put all opposition and journalists behind the bars.
