Govt working like opposition: Azma Bokhari

LAHORE: Provincial Minister of Information and Culture Punjab Azma Bokhari said that the current government working like an opposition because every action it takes is rendered ineffective.

Talking to the media outside Lahore High Court Thursday, Azma remarked, “There is a relentless force ensuring justice, but any government action results in relief within 5 minutes, while our petitions are delayed due to judicial holidays. Are these summer vacations only for the Muslim League (N)? I came today to see if the relief meant for the nation’s daughters is extended to PML-N members or just PTI’s. Unfortunately, the double standard in justice is evident. We cannot enact the Defamation Act; we initiate legal action, but it does not proceed. It seems justice is only for one party. I’ve come to ask the court when we will receive justice. Are the daughters of only one party part of the nation, or are we too? Are Maryam Nawaz and Maryam Aurangzeb not daughters of the nation? Despite being despicable and odious propaganda, my leader Maryam Nawaz remains committed to public service and strives to provide Punjab’s people with air ambulances, free medicines, laptops, electric bikes, virtual police stations, and trying to provide protection for girls.”

The Provincial Minister added, “In the High Court, a petition is filed within 2 minutes, and a number is allotted in 15 minutes. I am here to see if I would also receive justice in the same manner. Those supporting PTI’s founder are secure; no one else is.”
