ISLAMABAD: Senior vice president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz, has lashed out at deposed premier Imran Khan, saying that the state and the institutions cannot act at the whims of “terrorists and fitna [mischief] like him”.
She said this after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman apparently distanced his party from the ruling coalition’s demand to constitute a full Supreme Court bench on the Punjab elections delay case, saying “Whether it’s a 5-member bench of full bench, it makes no difference to us because all we want to know is if elections will be held within the 90 days,” Imran Khan said on twitter.
He also accused the PDM ruling alliance and its alleged handlers of attempting to subvert Constitution in a bid to delay elections in the country.
Maryam Nawaz response
Maryam Nawaz responded: “Taking name of a sacred thing like the Constitution by the certified violator of constitution’ is a disgusting joke.” The party leader alleged that the ‘conspiracy’ that the PTI chief had hatched with the help of his new facilitators has been caught. “The country, the state and institutions cannot follow the orders of terrorists and fitna like you. So now sit down quietly,” she said as she referred to Imran Khan.
پاکستان کی تاریخ کے پہلے سرٹیفائیڈ آئین شکن کے منہ سے آئین جیسی مقدس شے کا نام لینا بھی گھناؤنا مذاق ہے۔ بات یہ کہ وہ سازش جو تم نے نئے سہولت کاروں کی مدد سے تیار کی تھی وہ پکڑ لی گئی ہے۔ ملک، ریاست اور ادارے تم جیسے دہشت گرد اور فتنے کے حکم پر نہیں چل سکتے۔اب چُپ کر کے بیٹھ جاؤ! https://t.co/RWiDiECjTE

Meanwhile, commenting on controversial legislation which seeks clipping powers of chief justice of Pakistan, Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq said parliament has approved the new legislation adding “now the court is bound to function under the new law”. “The solution to the prevailing crisis is nothing but a full court hearing. The matter will start from the point where it was sabotaged,” he wrote on Twitter.
The federal minister was referring to the PDM government’s demand to constitute Supreme Court’s full court bench in Punjab and KP elections delay case.
