ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that ‘foreign-funded agent, Toshakhana gifts thief’ was acting like jackal and hiding behind women and children to avoid arrest for his crimes.

Addressing media persons, she said when police contingent left, cowardly Imran Khan came out and started bragging and abusing institutions.

Castigating, Imran Khan, she said this person had held law and constitution of Pakistan as hostage.

She observed that despite all his actions, he was being treated by justice system leniently. She said it was clear to everyone that louder, he would scream, sooner he would get relief.

Marriyum said Imran was aware that if he would attack, bully and threaten Judiciary, he would get bail.

Criticising Imran for his constant refusal to appear in courts, she said this person did not appear in courts because he knew that he was foreign agent and involved in theft of Toshakhana gifts.

She said that Imran Khan was responsible for swindling of national exchequer and pushed country towards inflation.

She said that Imran was fully aware that day he would appear in court, he would be arrested as he had committed crimes. “When police comes to arrest him, he starts screaming and takes shelter behind women and children using them as human shield,” she added. She said that entire system was at his mercy and no one could arrest him and courts could not summon him.

She said that it was strange that person used derogatory language against national institutions but he got relief very quickly.

Marriyum opined that Imran Khan was aware that he would get bail and relief if he would ridicule and abuse judiciary. Minister challenged him that if he had not committed any crime, he should appear in courts and face law of land.

Taking a dig at Imran she said “Samjhauta Express” was ready for departure at Zaman Park but no one was ready to board it, rather she said it was not Samjhauta Express but he was begging for NRO which foreign agent.
