No one is ready to believe those who distribute treason ‘fatwas’, says Maryam Nawaz
Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Central Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that anyone trying to control the media through bullying is a traitor.
She said treason is when the media is silenced, threatened and suppressed, and when the judiciary is made controversial and who make the nation beggars are traitors.
According to GNN, while addressing the workers in Sheikhupura, the PML-N leader harshly criticized the government and alleged that religious parties were used against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"We have been listening to this word ghaddaar (traitor) for a long time now. Whenever they are afraid of someone, and when they are afraid of the truth, of talk of the law and Constitution, of bravery, the bag opens and outcome labels such as traitor [...] or thief," she said.
PML-N Vice President said that "Nawaz Sharif's sun is about to rise again" and "the nation knows that if anyone can get the country out of trouble, it is Nawaz Sharif."
Maryam said that if being declared a traitor is a crime, then the first person to have been declared one was Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah.
The PML-N leader was paying a visit to party member Javed Latif's family in Sheikhupura when she made the remarks.
She followed by saying even her father, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was declared a traitor and so had she been labelled one.
Speaking of Nawaz Sharif, Maryam said that "they worked hard to label him a traitor" but the 220 million people of Pakistan "turned him into a hero instead".
"If calling what is right, 'right', what is true, 'true', if speaking of the supremacy of the Constitution and institutions, and of standing by the law, is traitorous, then we will do this treachery again and again," Maryam said.
Addressing the PML-N workers, she said that the title of treason was not given to Javed Latif but to the people of Sheikhupura.
"No one is ready to believe your treason fatwa," Maryam said to the government.
Maryam Nawaz said that “telling the truth and talking about the supremacy of the constitution is treason, so we will do it again and again.”
The PML-N central leader said that the people in Daska responded to Nawaz Sharif's narrative and respected the vote.

BTS’ speech was followed by a pre-recorded performance of their latest song ‘Permission to Dance’ which in itself is a message of positivity and hoping for an end to the pandemic.
The artists took turns on stage during their seven-minute speech, but it wasn't all about UN goals.
The pre-recorded video was presented soon after all members of the band- Jimin, J-Hope, Jin, Suga, RM, Jungkook, and V- spoke about the possibilities of the future generation and their ability to adapt to changing times amid a raging coronavirus pandemic.
Korean President Moon Jae-in, at the conclusion of his speech in session, introduced the seven band members as the ‘World's most loved artist’.
The UNICEF tweeted, “Today, BTS returned to #UNGA to share a powerful message on climate action, COVID-19 vaccines & the importance of taking care of ourselves and our communities. Thank you, @BTS_twt for inspiring a generation of young people. Together, we can create a better world. #BTSLoveMyself".
