'One (PM) who feeds dogs high-quality meat should think thousand times before discussing Riyasat-e-Madinah': Maryam
PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz said on Tuesday that the one (referring to the Prime Minister) whom dogs are fed high-quality meat should think thousand times before talking about Riyasat-e-Madinah.
In tweets, she said even having such thought needed sentiments and feelings in heart and not jealosuy.
The PML-N leader was reacting to Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi's speeches on the occasion of 12 Rabiul Awal in which they talked about an ideal Islamic welfare state.
"There is no comparison of Pakistan under the present government and Riyasat-e-Madinah," Maryam opined.
She said those who travel from one place to another in helicopters on official expense have no idea what the poor masses are going through because of inflation.
Yet, the government has the audacity to talk about Riyasat-e-Madinah, she said.
"Those whose dogs are fed high-quality meat should think before likening their governance to that of Riyasat e Madinah," Maryam said while taking a dig at PM Imran Khan.
She went on to say that due to the ongoing inflation in the country, "the poor and the destitute are dying of hunger, parents are poisoning their children because they are unable to feed them, and people are committing suicide."
"The government should think about the condition of the poor before talking about Riyasat e Madinah," she said, adding that those in power should be able to genuinely feel for the poor instead of issuing prejudiced statements against Opposition parties.
Criticising PM Imran Khan once again, she questioned: "How can someone be so blind, deaf, and dumb [to the condition of the poor masses]?"
Earlier in the day, the president and prime minister, in their separate messages on the occasion of Eid Miladun Nabi, had said Prophet Mohammad (SAW) laid the foundation of Riyasat-e-Madinah, which rose before the world as an example in terms of humanity, justice, and the rule of law.
