LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which has accused Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan of having support from within and outside the nation, has devised a plan to discredit the former prime minister, The News reported Saturday.
The ruling party plans to educate individuals through organisational conventions and rallies, insiders say.
PML-N Senior Vice President and chief organiser Maryam Nawaz will reveal Imran Khan’s local and foreign handlers next week. Sources told The News she will divulge the truth at a rally in Kasur on Monday.
Khan summoned by the courts to face multiple legal issues.
Maryam previously said that the judiciary supporting the PTI head and that the country needed honest judges, not “Imran loyalists” (Imrandaar judges), to treat all political figures equally.
She spoke at a Rawalpindi PML-N workers’ conference. Maryam said Khan still supported even not appearing in court and his trials delayed.
She stated she meant Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid legacy judges, not honest ones.
The PMLN senior vice-president mocked Khan by saying that although he could go to Rawalpindi for his party’s meeting with his damaged leg, he “cannot appear before the court”. The congressman argued that pointing fingers at the judiciary would require accountability.
Maryam stated, “MPs of our party and others made to switch loyalties to create his party. He excluded anyone who opposed him.”
Khan seeking power
She claimed that Khan had risen to power with establishment support and was now trying to do it again with judiciary support.
In another public gathering, the PML-N vice president said that the “facilitators” intended to resuscitate Imran Khan, who had “already drowned”.
I want to know why the facilitators want to save a person who sank the country. “That person drowned himself, but why are you people bent on [losing] your jobs?” she asked the crowd during her party’s convention in Gujranwala.
She also criticised the judiciary for rushing proceedings against Nawaz Sharif.
Maryam further said that Khan relied on the court to retake power when the establishment abandoned him.
