ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has termed move by PTI Chairman Imran Khan to get bail from different courts as ‘Jail Say Bacho’ (avoid arrest) movement. Her statement came during a presser on Wednesday where she severely criticized PTI’s court arrest movement, which was set to start minutes later from Lahore.
Marriyum Aurangzeb termed the PTI’s latest move to launch court arrest movement as yet another conspiracy against the country and claimed that PMLN government had left power when the growth rate was at 6% but Imran Khan brought it down during his four years of tenure.
She said Imran Khan buries his narrative on daily basis, and the ‘house-wife’ was responsible for every appointment in the country, a direct reference to Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi who has been accused by political opponents of meddling into official affairs.
Marriyum said Imran was evading cases before various institutions including high courts, district courts, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as he did not have any answers.
Calling the movement a “drama”, she questioned why 200 innocent people were being arrested when Imran Khan was the one being summoned and PTI leaders were being asked about the cypher cnspiracy and Toshakhana (gift depository) case.
“These are not political arrests, these are criminal arrests,” she stated and reiterated that Imran needed to give answers.
