Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has on Wednesday (today) said that “The city [is] choked” ahead of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Mardan Rally.
While addressing a huge PDM Mardan rally, Maryam Nawaz lashed out at Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying that his government was not qualified to run the country’s affairs.
She said the incumbent PTI government was busy playing musical chairs, adding, they don’t have a qualified team to manage Pakistan’s affairs.
“He [PM Imran Khan] says that he is not afraid of the PDM and will now bow before it,” she said, taunting the prime minister by saying that only the one who stands can take a bow.
“Whether your government is prepared to run the affairs of the country or not, the people of Mardan have decided that they will not rest till you are sent home,” she said.
Further firing tanuts at the premier, the PML-N leader added that, “He used to say before becoming prime minister that he has a team of 200 professionals. Where is your team now? When you know that you were not qualified to be prime minister, why were you in such a hurry to wear the sherwani?” she asked.
“You were not prepared to run the country but were prepared to rob the country of Rs122bn in the LNG scam,” she said. “You were not prepared to give the youth 10 million jobs but were prepared to give your friends lucrative jobs,” Maryam Nawaz added.
Earlier, the Vice president kept on tweeting the pictures hundreds of supporters, chanting slogans and showering rose petals on her car as she arrived Mardan.
She, in another tweet, exclaimed happiness at supporters of other political parties escorting her vehicle through the crowd.

On the other hand, despite the restrictions imposed by the district administration, the PDM held a rally in Mardan.
The district administration has refused to grant permission to the Opposition due to the sharp rise in coronavirus cases across the country.
The Mardan deputy commissioner said action will be taken against the protesters.
PDM spokesperson Mian Iftikhar Hussain said that the 11-party alliance will hold a rally in Larkana on December 27 on the death anniversary of former premier Benazir Bhutto.
