Murree incident: Fawad grills Shehbaz for speaking like a 'show-off' instead of leader
The information minister says PTI MNAs and MPAs were helping with the rescue efforts, but PML-N leaders were spotted nowhere


Islamabad: Federal Information Minister Chauhdry Fawad Hussain lashed out at PML-N leader Mian Shehbaz Sharif for speaking like a "show-off" instead of like a leader.
"He (Shehbaz) is here after taking an exemption from court. I thought he would speak like a leader but he has once again proven that he is just a show-off who has nothing to say," the minister said while responding to Shehbaz's speech.
He said the entire nation was in sorrow over the incident in Murree. "It was thought that this incident would be discussed in a manner that leads to unity, but leaders are born and not made through false means."
He claimed that the Sharif family had created "palaces" using government resources instead of spending it on development and infrastructure in Punjab and Murree.
"They are questioning a government that created 13 new tourist resorts in three years," he said, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan was the first to promote the country as a tourist destination.
"Today, when there is a revolution in the country's tourism, they are teaching us about what should and should not have been done."
The minister said that more than 100,000 tourists entered Murree over the span of five days. He added that while PTI MNAs and MPAs were helping with the rescue efforts, PML-N leaders were nowhere to be spotted.
"There was no other party present on ground except for the PTI.," he said, adding that the roads were cleared in 24 hours. "The Punjab chief minister, the federal government, PTI ministers and workers were all in Murree."
The minister said that there was a tragic incident every other day when Shehbaz was the Punjab chief minister, adding that during their tenure their focus was been on building their "palaces".
"A new reality of internal tourism has developed in Pakistan which can't be operated using the old administrative setup. The government is trying to implement a more modern setup and administrative structure to cater to this big a number of people."
