The
opposition parties by forming an alliance against Nawaz Sharif have accepted
the fact that his political capital and stature was far superior than that of
opposition. The state minister of Information, Broadcasting, National History
and Literary Heritage while talking to private TV channels here today strongly
denounced the speculations and rumours regarding Sharif’s visit to Saudi Arabia
and categorically stated that no deal or NRO was in the offing.
The minister
said that the opposition had unleashed negative propaganda against the Sharif
family adding that speculations should not be taken to the extent where the
malice and lies inherent in them became evident. She said that the attempts of
the opposition to create a dispute had become quite visible adding that if
Nawaz had to strike a deal he would have done it to save his chair when false
allegations were leveled against him in the Panama case but he never did so.
The minister said that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had a deal with the people to
serve them and he would persist with that.
Marriyum said
that the spokesman of the Sharif family had also refuted the media reports and
speculation about a deal as unfounded. The minister observed that the
opposition had done nothing positive during the last four years and they feared
that when they would go to the people they would have nothing to tell them
except for saying that they had tried to defame and spoil the reputation of
Nawaz Sharif and his family. She said that the opposition had not shown sense
of responsibility in any matter except for negative propaganda against Nawaz
Sharif because it was scared of him.
Marriyum said that Muhammad
Nawaz Sharif had nothing to hide from the people. She said that the former
Prime Minister would take the people into confidence regarding his visit on his
return if the thought it appropriate to do so. The MOS said that PML (N) was
united under the stewardship Nawaz Sharif and all attempts and machinations to
split the party had failed to materialize. She said that the people would hold
the proponents of politics of chaos and sit-ins accountable during 2018
elections as they were fully aware of the performance of PTI. The minister said
that the opposition could not do anything accept sit-ins and hurling fabricated
allegations. She posed a question as to what happened to the pledge by Imran
Khan to produce so much electricity which would be enough for the entire
country.? She said that the opposition was trying to erect obstacles for the
PML (N). The minister claimed She that bidding adieu to load shedding and
tackling terrorism were the biggest achievements of the PML (N) government. She
said that the government was not bothered by or scared of the negative
propaganda of the opposition. Marriyum said that Muslim League was more united
and stronger than before. Referring to the bonhomie between Qadri and
Zardari she said that the statements of the former against the later in 2013
were known to everybody.
