Not interested in PM, CM slots: Maryam
"PTI recruited keyboard warriors on government’s expenditure," claims PML-N stalwart

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz on Sunday said that she is not interested in becoming the prime minister or the chief minister after the upcoming general elections in the country.

During an informal interaction with journalists, she categorically said, “My focus is not on the slot of prime minister or chief minister.”

The PMLN stalwart also said for now, Junaid — her son — had also no intention of joining politics. “Junaid has to take the responsibility for his home first,” she said on a lighter note.

Junaid Safdar, a Cambridge graduate, has two Master’s and two Bachelor’s degrees from UK universities. A polo enthusiast got married in London in August 2021 and celebrated a grand valima ceremony in December in Lahore. She said that the nation is enduring the consequences of the incompetence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) ineligible government led by Imran Khan.

Maryam disowns PML-N govt over mini-budget

A day after the PML-N-led federal government presented a mini-budget imposing more taxes and hiked the price of petrol, the party’s chief organiser, Maryam Nawaz, distanced herself not only from the “unpopular” moves but also from the government.

Talking to party workers and leaders in Model Town, she said, “This coalition government of nine parties is not our government. Our government will be that of Nawaz Sharif.”

Apparently, her remarks were aimed to pacify the party’s voters after the government imposed new taxes worth Rs170bn in an attempt to unlock the deal with the International Monetary Fund.

She also said the PML-N-led coalition government got “real” power after the retirement of former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa in November last year. “Before November, someone else was running the government,” she had said in a media talk in Bahawalpur.

In January, Ms Sharif was appointed the party’s chief organiser by the PML-N leadership.

She was tasked with “reorganising the party” and rejuvenating the voters at a time when a worsening economic crisis has forced the government to make unpopular choices, resulting in a steep rise in inflation.

Since her return to Pakistan from London last month, Ms Sharif has been addressing rallies and meeting party workers across Punjab to build some momentum before the general elections in October.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) vice president Fawad Chaudhry has asserted that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief organiser Maryam Nawaz was running a campaign against judiciary for ‘personal gains’, ARY News reported on Sunday.

Talking to journalists in Lahore, the former information minister said that the media cell of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Maryam Nawaz was running an anti-judiciary campaign to get desire results.

“The purpose of the anti-judiciary campaign is to take the judiciary to a defensive position”, Fawad Chaudhry said, adding that if the judiciary gives judgement against them, their cases will be restored and the purpose of regime change would fail.

Unmute
Speaking of the elections, the former minister said that as per the Constitution, elections should be held within 90 days of dissolution of assemblies, adding that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was ‘running away’ from elections.

“They [the incumbent rulers] are running a systematic campaign to impose martial law in the country,” he claimed, adding that economic stability only possible through political instability.

Earlier in February, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Maryam Nawaz criticised the judiciary, claiming that it was ‘facilitating some quarters’ of the country.

Talking to journalists, the PML-N chief organiser said that questions were being raised on judiciary’s role as it was ‘facilitating some quarters’ of the country.

In response to a question, Maryam Nawaz said that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will soon arrive in Pakistan for the forthcoming elections, adding that the cases against the former prime minister will also end soon.

She expressed anger with party over Nawaz Sharif’s issue, saying that the incumbent government did nothing for PML-N supremo and noted that legislation should have been carried out in this regard.

“Bogus cases were made against Nawaz Sharif and me,” she said, adding that even PTI’s Shah Mehmood Qureshi admitted the ‘injustice’ with her father.

She pointed out that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was the only prime minister in country’s history who was ousted through no confidence motion.

In light of a leaked audio clip which purportedly featured a conversation between former chief minister Parvez Elahi and a Sup*reme Court judge, PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz on Sunday asked for accountability in the judiciary and said Pakistan needed “honest jud*ges” instead of the ones who allegedly favoured Imran Khan.

Addressing a workers convention in Rawalpindi, the PML-N senior vice president said that judges named in the audio leak should have “moral courage” to resign from their post.

Ms Nawaz said the entire judiciary was not lopsided but there were only some judges in the judiciary who were allegedly biased. “Imran Khan is looking to get support from the judiciary to come back to power after failing to get support from the establishment,” she alleged.

She claimed there were some followers of former spymaster retired General Faiz Hameed in the judiciary and they needed to be held “accountable”.

This is all a game. The judges are owned by the mafia and will look for any avenue to serve their mafia masters. Remember the "abuse" that Bajwa received from Nani, the Bhagora and Ayaz Sadiq, but we all know now,that it was a game and the beghaairat Bajwa was in on it. The irony is that the abuse from the witch was a game but the abuse today that crooked Bajwa receives is real. PK needs to cleanse itself of the Generals and this mafia appointed Judiciary. I hope IK gets a 2/3rd majority and scraps this SC and appoints people that will genuinely hold him and all powerful people to account.

Sukkur court summons Maryam Nawaz in contempt case
Petition filed by PTI Sukkur District President over her “scandalous remarks” against judges of the SC

The Sukkur district and sessions court on Wednesday summoned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President and Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz in a contempt case filed over her “scandalous remarks” against judges of the Supreme Court.

Additional Sessions Judge Mumtaz Solangi directed Maryam Nawaz to appear before the court on March 10. He also summoned Sukkur senior superintendent of police and the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) officers.

The notice was issued on a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sukkur District President Zaheer Babar, who accused the senior PML-N leader of defaming the institutions in her address to the party workers in Sargodha last week.

Addressing a PML-N workers' convention, the PML-N chief organiser had expressed reservations over some of the judges on the top court’s nine-member bench, formed to take up the suo motu notice regarding delay in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa polls.

Lashing out at former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan following party leader Fawad Chaudhry's "truck" remarks, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that they will "puncture" all four tyres of the truck.

In the alleged conversation between Fawad and his brother Faisal Chaudhry, the names of three judges - Chief Justice Lahore High Court Muhammad Ameer Bhatti, Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial and Supreme Court judge Justice Mazahir Ali Naqvi come up.

"The CJ Lahore is asking for a general [meeting] with Bandial to be arranged," a voice allegedly of Fawad is heard saying which is affirmed by another voice purportedly of Faisal in the phone call.

"Also, meet Mazahir through Mr Dar and tell him that a loaded truck is standing in your name, tell us what we should do with it," the PTI leader reportedly said before adding that "my own personal recommendation is that after doing three or four suits on Tarar, he should be given [Section] 228 there so that they come under some pressure at least".

"Now I don't need to say anything... wherever we see the truck going, we will understand [what is happening]," Maryam said while addressing a rally in Gujranwala. "We will puncture all four tyres of this truck."

Talking about another alleged audio leak featuring former Punjab chief minister PTI leader Yasmin Rashid, she said it was not Maryam Nawaz who said that they "people" in Supreme Court.

"Now, don't say the truck you have parked outside the court was driven by Maryam," she said while apprising about allegations she, her father Nawaz Sharif and other PML-N leaders have faced.

[MenInG]

Waving a toy truck at a well-attended public meeting, PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz Sharif in a renewed attack on Imran Khan and his ‘facilitators’ on Friday asked the PTI to use ‘truck’ as its election symbol instead of ‘bat’.

The suggestion came soon after an audiotape purportedly of PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry and his advocate brother Faisal Chaudhry surfaced.

In the tape, Mr Fawad purportedly asked Mr Faisal for arranging a meeting between two judges. He told Mr Faisal to assure the judges that a ‘truck’ stood behind them.

Ms Sharif said Imran Khan has been calling for contempt of court proceedings against her over her speeches about certain judges, but pointed to audio leaks featuring conversation between several PTI leaders about judges, and wondered whether the PTI chairman would make a similar demand for his party leaders.

PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday lambasted former chief justice Saqib Nisar for what she said was facilitating PTI Chairman Imran Khan to the prime minister’s seat.

Addressing a rally in Sheikhupura, the PML-N chief organiser recalled how the ex-CJP took away the certificate of “sadiq and ameen” from the PTI chairman.

She was referring to Nisar’s statement from a day ago when he said that the Supreme Court had not declared Imran Khan “sadiq and ameen” (truthful and honest) unreservedly and in all aspects of his conduct in its 2017 verdict in favour of the PTI chief.

Maryam said that Nisar — whom she labelled a “liar” — had “put the fate of the nation in the hands of a narcotic user”.

Maryam Nawaz, the senior vice president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), on Friday said that those who conspired against her father former prime minister Nawaz Sharif were now confessing to their involvement in the conspiracy and exposing others who were also involved in it.

Maryam said that "we don't have to do anything... they are exposing themselves. This is justice from the Almighty that we are seeing this," and added that not only were they confessing, but they were also pointing out others who were part of the conspiracy against Nawaz.

"They hatched [the conspiracy] together but now they are being exposed so everybody is looking after themselves. All of Imran's facilitators are escaping the country," she said while addressing a PML-N workers' convention in Faisalabad.

"I say this to Panama bench and [former chief justice] Saqib Nisar, you must listen to this... this nation will never forgive you no matter how many explanations you offer on Sadiq and Ameen," she said.

Maryam said that former prime minister Imran Khan, who was an absconder in some cases at that time, used to participate in the hearings of Justice (retd) Saqib Nisar and Justice (retd) Asif Saeed Khosa but no one bothered to arrest him.

She claimed that the Panama bench was not only an enemy of Nawaz but was also an enemy of the poor people of Pakistan who were being provided with Rs2 bread and cheap sugar.

Maryam lashed out at Imran for "humiliating" the nation in front of the IMF by succumbing to its demands. "Imran is responsible for today's situation. They (Panama bench) imposed an incapable, incompetent and watch thief on this nation. Nation will never forgive them for generations."

She said that the bench imposed a person on this nation who was addicted to drugs and he destroyed the country.

Hitting out at the PTI chief for using party workers, particularly women as "human shields" to prevent arrest, Maryam said that Nawaz Sharif went to jail along with his daughter but he never used his workers as shields whereas Imran is using his female workers for this purpose.

"He checks on his doorstep whether women were protecting him or not at all times," she said.

"What happens to our daughters and sisters is shameful. Their own lawmakers are saying what is happening at Zaman Park, we cannot even say those things in words."

The PML-N leader said that when courts summon Imran Khan, he excuses by saying that he has plaster on his leg. "Till there are cases in courts, his plaster will not come off. He says he is old and cannot come but when he has to hold a rally he is never too old. He is only sick for courts but not for rallies... have you seen a bigger hypocrite in your life," she questioned.

PUNJAB POLLS: MARYAM NAWAZ TO CONTEST ELECTION FROM GUJRANWALA

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president and chief organiser Maryam Nawaz has decided to contest upcoming elections for Punjab Assembly from Gujranwala, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

According to details, the PML-N senior vice president will contest the election from PP-63 constituency of Gujranwala.

Maryam Nawaz has handed over her nomination papers to Shoaib Butt, the city vice president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

In a statement, Shoaib Butt said that Maryam’s nominations papers will be submitted to the Returning Officer’s (RO) office tomorrow by the latter’s lawyer.

In the 2018 general elections, Ashraf Ansari – who at the time was a dissident PML-N member – was elected MPA from PP-63. However, he later joined the party after some time.

Earlier in the day, it was reported that former Punjab chief minister (CM) Hamza Shehbaz submitted his nomination papers for three constituencies of Lahore to contest upcoming elections for provincial assembly.

The former Punjab CM submitted his papers from PP-147, PP-147 and PP-163 and he would take part in the Punjab elections from the three constituencies of Lahore.

It is pertinent to mention here that PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz returned to Pakistan after spending three months with his family in US and London.

PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Sunday came down hard on the PTI, saying that the latter’s politics only revolved around appointments to the country’s top posts.

She made the remarks while addressing the office-bearers of the PML-N lawyers’ wing alongside Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah a day after PTI chief Imran Khan challenged the country’s incumbent rulers to put forward a plan to rescue Pakistan from the many crises it found itself mired in, and laid out his own roadmap to recovery.

At the outset of her talk, Maryam said that she had previously stated in her speeches that the PML-N was not afraid of elections, but merely wanted the scales of justice to be balanced before they were conducted.

“We are not scared of elections. We are not selected, we are elected. Those who are selected should be worried,” she said.


She also took exception to assertions that the PML-N only wanted to delay elections till October as a new chief justice would be in place by then.

“PTI’s whole politics revolves around which appointment is happening when. Yesterday, this slipped out of Sheikh Rashid’s mouth during the rally […]. That showed me that their entire politics revolves around appointments.”

She said that previously the PTI had the support of some from the military establishment, who had since left. “Now, they have found the judicial establishment,” she remarked.

She said that the PTI’s long march last year in November was aimed at making the appointment of the new army chief controversial. “Their entire politics revolves around appointments, around crutches. Their entire politics revolves around facilitators.”

Maryam said that Imran had “brazenly and blatantly” flouted the country’s laws by hiding in his home despite being summoned by the courts. “And when he went, he took armed groups […] tell me when in our history has someone been facilitated like this.”

Drawing a comparison with PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Maryam said her father faced false cases on the basis of which he was later disqualified.

But when Imran, who has continuously been flouting the laws of the land, goes to court, he is given bail left and right with the “strike of a pen”, she said. Maryam said Nawaz, Sanaullah and she herself had appeared before the courts in false cases but had never taken an armed group with them.

She said that the police went to Zaman Park in Lahore, where Imran’s residence is located, to implement the orders of the court yet officials were attacked with stones and petrol bombs. “The entire state was attacked from there just because police went to implement the court’s orders. Why are Pakistan’s laws and the Constitution sleeping? Why is action not being taken? […] Who is it who is protecting him (Imran) to this day?”

Putting her hand on her chest, Maryam said she was a democratic political worker. “I think that there is no other solution apart from elections. Elections should happen after every five years but there should be political stability in the country,” she said as she asserted that the PML-N would take part in and win the polls.

She said that the PTI was clamouring about the Constitution being violated but had forgotten when the Supreme Court unanimously struck down ex-National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri’s ruling on the no-confidence motion against Imran.

“When a person violated the Constitution, which article is applicable on him then? Article 6 is applicable […]. The SC said the Constitution was violated. Where is the punishment for violating the Constitution?”

She said that if the government had not filed a plea against Imran for violating the Constitution, then it was its “weakness”. She asserted that such a plea should be filed with the country’s top court.

The SC should also look at the fact that someone who was determined to have violated the Constitution has gotten off scot-free, she said. “What should we make of this?”

She said that Imran had dissolved assemblies in order to spread “unrest, chaos and anarchy” and questioned if the country and its institutions could work on the whims of such a person.

The PML-N leader also took exception to the SC’s decision to take suo motu notice of the delay in holding elections in KP and Punjab. She said two judges write a note to the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) while hearing a completely unrelated case which lead to the top court taking suo motu notice.

“And that crisis has since prevailed. There is still a question mark [….] If the decision was 4-3, then this crisis would not exist. So there is some facilitating involved. I am not going to mince my words,” she said, terming the suo motu notice, the bench hearing the case and the note written by the two judges to the CJP all to be “controversial”.

She noted that one of the two judges she mentioned was the subject of a reference filed in the Supreme Judicial Council regarding financial irregularities. “And if someone says something then it is contempt of court? Contempt of court is when the courts are unable to dispense justice and corrupt judges are protected.”

She said that even if elections were held, what guarantee was there that Imran would accept the results if the PML-N won. “And if he wins in KP, where he is popular, who will give the guarantee that he won’t dissolve the assembly again?” she asked, adding that there could not be “selective application” of the Constitution.

She said two judges write a note to the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) while hearing a completely unrelated case which lead to the top court taking suo motu notice.

“And that crisis has since prevailed. There is still a question mark [….] If the decision was 4-3, then this crisis would not exist. So there is some facilitating involved. I am not going to mince my words,” she said, terming the suo motu notice, the bench hearing the case and the note written by the two judges to the CJP all to be “controversial”.

She noted that one of the two judges she mentioned was the subject of a reference filed in the Supreme Judicial Council regarding financial irregularities. “And if someone says something then it is contempt of court? Contempt of court is when the courts are unable to dispense justice and corrupt judges are protected.”

She said that even if elections were held, what guarantee was there that Imran would accept the results if the PML-N won. “And if he wins in KP, where he is popular, who will give the guarantee that he won’t dissolve the assembly again?” she asked, adding that there could not be “selective application” of the Constitution.

DAWN

How can anyone in their right mind take this woman seriously?

First of all, IK is where is due to support of the people not because of appointments.
She is clearly betraying her own thinking when she harps on about this and fact is they need their appointments to keep their disgusting tentacles firmly around the neck of the country.

Secondly, she talks about IK not attending court hearings and that when he does attend he has his supporters around him.
Can someone remind this disgustingly dirty and crooked woman that 1. Those cases are fake and 2. When she attended a NAB hearing she turned up with goons carrying stones in envelopes and bags who literally attacked the officers at the NAB hearing which then had to be cancelled and was never called again.

She’s a vile and wretched woman, with no morals whatsoever. Everyone knows what she’s up to and how she has lived her tainted life. It’s laughable that she’s somehow the queen of the begharait party even though she doesn’t hold an electable office.

She is the chosen ladlee of our Generals. Caught red handed for hidden wealth and fake deeds, she did a few months in jail and then used her fathers illness to get out of the jail but alas the father had left the country.

She is fast becoming a laughing stock. IK gives a ten point agenda. She gives is bughz e imran. They are finished as a party. The Generals can try all they want. One day they will all have to retire. There is a young generation that doesn't want their politics anymore and it will get worse for them..

She’s definitely the “ladleee”’of many powerful men and everyone knows that.

Anybody seen the video in which she is trying to draw parallels of NS to the Holy Prophet SAW and hers with Hazrat Fatima Zahra?

Cringeworthy and facepalm moment of the millennium!

Not surprising. When you are a jaahil and come from a long lineage of jaahils this is the result. Nawaz proclaimed himself to be Ameer-ul-Momineen at one point as well but I doubt he even knows basic tajweed. Ameer-ul-Momineen is now hiding in London too scared to come back to the land of the pure.

NS learnt from his surrogate father Zia how to tap into the religious sentiment of the people but this is just going a bit too far. Height of desperation. Any idiot can see it

Just saw her interview with Mansoor Ali Khan. Posing like a model and taking sips of coffee Nani was behaving like she was on "Koffee With Karan".

No doubt she is desperate to eliminate Imran forever. She wants him arrested and fake a story that while taking his blood test it was revealed that he is a drug addict and also a mentally unstable person who is detrimental and destructive for Pakistan. Then it will be easy to fool the Judges and the nation.
