Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan implied on Friday that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz was afraid of Imran Khan’s success as prime minister.
In a tweet, Dr Firdous said that the Maryam Safdar’s use of indecent language for the incumbent prime minister shows her growing frustration. While expressing her views on the microblogging site, she said, Maryam fears that PM Khan’s success would make the country profitable while simultaneously turn her private limited company in the guise of political party in loss.
مریم صفدر کا وزیر اعظم پاکستان کے متعلق ناشائستہ لب و لہجہ ان کی بڑھتی ہوئی فرسٹریشن کا اظہار ہے۔انہیں خوف ہے کہ عمران خان کی کامیابی سے ملک منافع بخش اور سیاسی جماعت کی آڑ میں ان کی پرائیویٹ لمیٹڈ کمپنی خسارے میں ہو گی۔

Earlier, Dr Firdous said the purpose of amnesty scheme was to provide an opportunity to the people for the legalization of their black and grey money. She said the present government wanted to bring back the money of those hiding their suspicious accounts abroad. She added that the step would help reduce inflation besides improving the national economy.
Dr Firdous said that the Maryam Safdar’s use of indecent language for the incumbent prime minister shows her growing frustration.

پارلیمنٹ ، وزیراعظم ھاوس اور پی ٹی وی پر حملہ کرکے دارالحکومت کو چار ماہ تک مفلوج رکھنے والا دھرنا گرد
ایک دن کے لیئے چھوٹا سا احتجاج برداشت نہیں کر سکا کیونکہ ڈرتا ہے نا، چور دروازے سے آیا ہے! 10 ماہ میں یہ حال ہو گیا ووٹ چوروں کا!
PPP کے سیاسی کارکنوں پر تشدد قابل مزمت ہے ۔— Maryam Nawaz Sharif (@MaryamNSharif) May 29, 2019
“The person who attacked Parliament, PM House, PTV and paralyzed Islamabad for four months could not tolerate a small protest because he is scared,” Maryam tweeted in an apparent reference to Prime Minister Imran Khan and his 126-day long sit-in in the capital in 2014.

However, Firdous was quick to question Maryam’s silence on Model Town incident. Awan said that those who patronized Gullu Butts when they ruled the country should not give lectures and sermons to others.

Awan said that there will be no concession on the accountability process, saying those who were facing NAB cases should focus on answering the questions posed by the accountability watchdog.
