ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan had become ‘irrelevant’. Government was trying to fix catastrophe wrought by Imran Khan during his four years disastrous tenure, she said in a statement. “Inflation, destruction of economy and foreign relations, besides historic debt are all Imran Khan’s legacy”, she maintained.

Government’s focus, she said was only on problems faced by people as “We are committed to clear agenda for development and prosperity of Pakistan”. Through this agenda, ruling alliance had made national priorities and clear approach within Pakistan and to outside world, she said. Two characters of construction and destruction were before nation, she said while referring to Imran Khan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. “Why should elections be held ahead of time because Imran Khan had lost power?”

she questioned. Taking a jibe at PTI leadership, she said they had come to overthrow federal government but left after announcing overthrow of both their governments [in Punjab and KP]. No ‘face saving’ can work for PTI as public was fully aware of their real faces. Their acts of first resigning from assemblies and then filing petitions in High Court and neither returning amount taken as salaries nor giving up benefits, vehicles and houses had exposed them, she added.
