Farrukh asks Maryam for not submitting actual money trail of London flats to court
Till date, no response has been given in the court about the palatial palaces built [by Sharif family] in London after looting money from poor people

Islamabad: Minister of State for Information Farrukh Habib on Sunday lashed out at PML-N Vice President Maryam Safdar for not submitting money trail of four flats, owned by her in London, to the court.
“Till date, no response has been given in the court about the palatial palaces built [by Sharif family] in London after looting money from poor people of Pakistan,” the minister tweeted while criticizing Maryam for submitting ‘Qatari’ letter and fake trust deed to the court to justify the purchase of flats through legal means.
مریم صفدر آپ نے ہی کہا تھا میری لندن میں تو کیا پاکستان میں کوئی پراپرٹی نہیں ہے؟ پھر 4 فلیٹس کی مالک بن گئی

جو پاکستان کی غریب عوام کا پیسہ لوٹ کر لندن میں محلات بنائے اس کا جواب آج تک عدالتوں میں نہیں ملا۔ رسیدوں کی جگہ قطری خط کا جھوٹ بولا اور جعلی کیلبری فونٹ ٹرسٹ ڈیڈ بنائی۔ https://t.co/TWI9GBtXsL
On the other hand, recalling Maryam’s claim of not owning property anywhere, he said it was later emerged that she was the actual owner of the four flats in London.
Reacting to a warning from Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, who on Sunday said he would be more dangerous if ousted from power, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz said that Imran Khan should pack up and leave.
The PML-N vice president said in a series of tweets in Urdu and English with different content soon after Imran Khan ended his two-hour telephone conversation with the general public, discussing a host of issues.
“Your threat that you would be more dangerous if ousted is nothing more than a hollow claim. The day you are out of power, people would perform prayer of thankfulness. Neither you are Nawaz Sharif who was supported by people nor you are a victim. You are a conspirer facing karma,” Maryam said.
She said Imran Khan sounded like a person who is not only defeated but has also accepted his defeat. Four years into the government and he is still only whining, she added.
“The ‘cartels’ you are complaining about are the mafias on your right and left who have fleeced 220 million and who run your kitchen,” she said.
The PMLN leader said that Imran Khan was wrong to blame the judiciary for his failure.
“The cases you made against Sharifs and PMLN were false and fabricated and were bound to meet the fate they have met. Now that your reality has dawned on the world, do not blame the judiciary. You have only your vindictiveness and revengefulness to blame.”
“Every word that IK has uttered today reeks of failure, dashed hopes and no faith in his or PTI’s future,” Maryam said adding that Imran Khan was “history” now.
She said Imran Khan should pack up and leave. “The more you cling to power, the more you will compound your problems and that of the people.”

Police and fire officials said the 85 foot (26 metre) yacht in Torquay, Devon, was "well alight" and the fire brigade said the vessel contained about 8,000 litres of diesel fuel, prompting local areas and nearby beaches to be cleared.
