A recent statement made by Secretary Information PML-N Marriyum Aurangzeb has sparked outrage and condemnation, highlighting the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric that continues to permeate the country’s political landscape.<\/p>\n

Marriyum, during a press conference, said that PTI founder Imran Khan and his party members should have been beheaded in 2014.<\/p>\n

“When the Chinese president was arriving in Pakistan, this fitna should have been addressed at that time. His head should have been beheaded,\u201d PML-N leader can be seen in video clips shared by netizens.<\/p>\n

As messy as this country is, I want to apologise to the world on behalf of Maryam Aurangzeb. She, nor her party, represent Pakistanis in general.
In actuality, they did not win more than 17 National Assembly seats. https:\/\/t.co\/xKdLqC1fEv<\/a><\/p>\n
