LAHORE: PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Saturday said proceedings under Article 6 of the Constitution should be initiated against those involved in the May 9 riots as they attacked the state.<\/p>\n
Referring to the leadership of PTI, she said they instructed their workers to burn the entire country on May 9. \u201cNow they are hurling threats from jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was talking to media persons after attending the hearing of a case against her in an antiterrorism court (ATC).<\/p>\n
Without naming the former prime minister, Imran Khan, she said he first took out a \u2018cipher\u2019 from his pocket and later accused caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi of toppling his government.<\/p>\n
\nAlleges party leadership \u2018instructed\u2019 workers to burn the country on May 9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The PML-N leader said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was not given a level playing field in 2018 elections as he was sent to jail along with his daughter.<\/p>\n
She said PTI leaders wrote articles saying they were not getting a level playing field, but their nomination papers were being accepted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the people of Pakistan are not going to vote for them [PTI],\u201d she said. Accusing the PTI of avoiding elections, Ms Aurangzeb claimed that those responsible for making Pakistan a nuclear power in 1998 would now determine the country\u2019s fate on Feb 8 not those who attacked it on May 9, 2023.<\/p>\n
She criticised the PTI for economic mismanagement and asserted that the elections would proceed on the specified date.<\/p>\n
The court, where a terror case against her is ongoing, granted a one-time exemption to Javed Latif and adjourned the hearing until next week, seeking arguments on both politicians\u2019 acquittal applications. The case involves alleged religiously motivated hate speech against Mr Khan.<\/p>\n
