In a recent exchange of political barbs, Maryam Nawaz, the Senior Vice President and Chief Organizer of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), expressed strong criticism of former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s statements. Maryam Nawaz vehemently responded to Imran Khan’s recent assertion that the May 9 attacks were orchestrated by Nawaz Sharif, stating that it was not Nawaz Sharif but PTI workers who were involved. She added a sarcastic remark, highlighting the shift in Imran Khan’s narrative, stating that today he claims Nawaz Sharif rented the attackers, while previously, he alleged that PTI workers were responsible.
Maryam Nawaz’s remarks are indicative of the ongoing political tensions in Pakistan, with leaders seizing every opportunity to discredit their opponents. The mention of May 9 refers to an incident in the past, suggesting a blame game between political parties regarding the responsibility for the attacks.
On another front, Rana Sanaullah, the President of the PML-N in Punjab, sharply criticized the former Chairman of PTI and current Prime Minister Imran Khan. Sanaullah accused Imran Khan of initially claiming a conspiracy involving the United States, then retired General (R) Qamar Javed Bajwa, and now the London Plan against him. He emphasized that the alleged conspiracy on May 9 will eventually come back to haunt Imran Khan himself.
The reference to the “London Plan” is likely linked to previous accusations made by Imran Khan against Nawaz Sharif, suggesting a plot orchestrated from London against the PTI government.
In the midst of this verbal exchange, General Qamar Javed Bajwa responded to Donald Lu’s statement, asserting that he will drag everyone into court. This refers to the former US ambassador’s statement about Bajwa’s alleged involvement in a conspiracy against Imran Khan.
Rana Sanaullah posed pointed questions to the former PTI Chairman, asking who informed party workers about the protest venues during his arrest and whether someone in London was directing him. These questions raise concerns about the potential external influence on political developments within Pakistan and the motivations behind certain decisions.
The verbal sparring between Maryam Nawaz and Imran Khan, as well as Rana Sanaullah’s criticism of the PTI leadership, highlights the intense political rivalry in Pakistan. The exchange not only revolves around past events and accusations but also underscores the broader implications of external influences on the country’s political landscape.
