Marriyum confirms PM Shehbaz-led PML-N delegation will meet Nawaz in London

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would depart for London along with a PML-N delegtaion to meet party supremo Nawaz Sharif, federal minister for information and broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb confirmed on Tuesday.

Flanked by Power Minister Khurram Dastgir, she told a presser in the federal capital that several media channels were airing the news that PML-N members were going to visit Nawaz in London, which she said the government's opponents were blowing out of proportion.

Aurangzeb said PML-N members were going on a private visit to London to see Nawaz Sharif and that PM Shehbaz would also be travelling for this purpose.

Brushing aside speculations of rival parties, the minister said the consultation process was a routine and ongoing process.

-- Imran has no moral ground to seek SC intervention on Cheema’s removal --
 

In a statement, Marriyum Aurangzeb said PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who himself had sheer disregard for courts, had no moral ground to appeal to the Supreme Court for taking notice of Omar Sarfraz Cheema’s removal as Punjab governor.

He (Imran Khan) seemed to have “no iota of shame” as despite being a violator of the Constitution he was talking about the supremacy of the Constitution, she said in a news statement.

She said the “fascist era” of Imran-led government would continue to be condemned for fearlessly bullying the Constitution. It, she added, had exposed the “political hypocrisy” of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman.

The constitutional posts of governor, speaker and deputy speaker were disrespected at Imran’s whims, the minister said.

Marriyum said the drama of constitutional violations staged by the PTI leadership in the National Assembly before the vote of no-trust motion was repeated in the Punjab Assembly as well.

The unconstitutional and fascist approach of the PTI leadership had led to the opening of courts doors at midnight opening, she added.
