LAHORE:Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that no statement came from the founder of PTI during the war, while Aleema Khan called the war a mutual understanding.

During this time, PTI's entire social media team remained busy in campaigning against its own country and army. Ali Amin Gandapur, during the days of war, kept making rounds of Adiala Jail and continued misbehaving.

Azma said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz played the most active role during the war days and kept the Punjab’s civil administration active when drones were falling. She expressed these views on Thursday in response to the statement of Barrister Saif.

Azma said that although Barrister Saif is called himself the information minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but he neither has information nor knowledge. She said that Barrister Saif is handed over pre-written statements, and he circulated them in the media without any verification, which is an extremely irresponsible act.

While paying tribute to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz during the war situation, she said that Maryam Nawaz not only played the role of an active chief minister but also raised the morale of the Pakistan Army through her speeches and evoked a spirit of patriotism among the people of Punjab.

She further said that the entire PTI remained absent from the scene during the war. Whenever the nation unites, PTI is seen standing in the enemy’s ranks. The information minister said that this war has exposed many faces. The whole nation stood shoulder to shoulder with its brave armed forces, while on the other side, PTI’s abusive brigade, as per routine, remained engaged in spreading lies, chaos, and rumours. The nation now knows very well whose project PTI was and where their loyalties lie, she added
