Maryam Nawaz asks PM Imran Khan to wait a bit

Reacting to address of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz asked the premier to wait a bit. “There is still time in no-confidence motion, but you have already surrendered and become opposition.”

The PML-N leader took to twitter and said, “Have some patience, brother. [Prime Minister] Imran Khan, [voting on] no-confidence has time. You have thrown up your weapons already and have come to the opposition seats now?” she asked the prime minister in her message on Twitter.

تھوڑا صبر کر لو بھائی، حوصلہ کرو @ImranKhanPTI عدم اعتماد میں ابھی کچھ دن ہیں۔
آپ ابھی سے ہتھیار پھینک کر اپوزیشن کی نشست پر آگئے ہو؟

Maryam Nawaz posted another tweet addressing the prime minister. She wrote a poetic comment: “Sometimes on the Arsh (throne); sometimes on the floor. Sometimes at home; sometimes in exile. It’s all in your love [O seat!], we were humiliated everywhere.”

کبھی عرش پر کبھی فرش پر کبھی ان کے در کبھی دربدر
غم کرسی تیرا شکریہ ہم کہاں کہاں سے گزر گئے !

Earlier, PM Imran Khan said opposition’s no-confidence motion—submitted to the National Assembly secretariat—is their ‘political death’. While addressing to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers at Governor House, the premier said that the ongoing political situation in Pakistan is the outcome of his 25-year jihad as he has been waiting for this moment.  

Imran Khan expressed hope of being victorious regarding no confidence motion stating that the opposition will face humiliating defeat. 

“Asif Ali Zardari is my first target,” he said, adding that his time is up.

Proceeding to his speech, Imran Khan started slamming all the major opposition leaders one by one. 

Taking a jibe at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s speech yesterday, Khan said, “For the sake of God, teach Bilawal some Urdu,” adding that even foreigners learn Urdu within two months. 

Calling Pakistan Muslim Leage-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif, a ‘boot polisher’, Khan said he will be detained in next three months—claiming that former Chief Minister had joined hands with the Pakistan Peoples Party as he sees his time gone.

Prime Minister Imran Khan reached Karachi on a day-long visit to the city.

He visited MQM-Pakistan's head office at Bahadurabad and held meeting with leadership of allied party.

Federal Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Ali Zaidi and Asad Umar are also accompanying the Prime Minister. Governor Sindh Imran Ismail was also present on the occasion.

The Prime Minister was welcomed by the MQM-Pakistan leadership.
