Imran robbed Punjab through his family: Maryam Nawaz

LAYYAH: PMLN Vice President Maryam Nawaz Wednesday said "fitna" Khan [Imran Khan] established "GPEC -- Gogi-Pinky economic corridor", adding that he kept on robbing Punjab through his family.

Addressing a jalsa in Layyah ahead of the by-polls in 20 constituencies of Punjab, scheduled to be held on July 17, Maryam said that Khan was only focused on converting his residence Bani Gala into Money Gala.

She accused Farah Khan — a close aide of former first lady Bushra Bibi — of destroying Punjab. “Imran Khan, now you will have to cry because it is payback time. The people of Pakistan were crying when you were in power,” she said, adding that the nation knows who was to be held accountable for creating a mess in the country.

Regarding the news that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has asked the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) to submit a summary on reducing the price of petroleum products in line with a decline in the international market, Maryam said: “Good days are coming.”

The PML-N leader announced that no electricity bills will be received by all those people who consume less than 100 units of electricity. “I will not sit peacefully until the people of Layyah are living a peaceful life,” she said, adding that inflation will now reduce. Commenting on the upcoming elections, she asserted that "lions will roar on July 17 in Punjab as PMLN will contest against rising inflation brought by a jackal."
