Marriyum says Imran wants every institution head to act like Javed Iqbal, dares him to name ‘agencies’ involved in politics

ISLAMABAD, Aug 19 (APP): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday alleged that Imran Khan wanted the head of every institution to act like former NAB chairman Javed Iqbal, and dared him to name the “agencies and their officials” who were involved in politics and had given him the guarantee that the incumbent chief election commissioner would toe his line.
“Either point out the persons and agencies who have given you (Imran) a briefing about the corruption of PML-N and PPP or stop this drama once and for all if you lack the courage,” the minister said while addressing a news conference.
The minister said Imran Khan, while addressing a seminar the other day, had claimed that he was briefed about the opposition leaders’ corruption by the “agencies” and the incumbent chief election commissioner (CEC) was appointed by him on their guarantee.
“Which guarantee was given to him (Imran) for the CEC? Which agency had given him the guarantee? And why he needed the guarantee at all?” she questioned.
The minister asked whether he wanted the assurance that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would not be declared a foreign-aided party and he himself as a “foreign agent” under that guarantee.
She said Imran Khan had made a claim that he received reports from the “agencies” about the leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Whether he himself had sought the reports from the agencies, she wondered, advising the PTI chairman to better stop churning out lies.
Marriyum alleged that Imran Khan was a “fascist who wants to impose fascism on the entire country”. He desired that persons like Javed Iqbal should head all the state institutions, including the Election Commission of Pakistan, Federal Investigation Agency, National Accountability Bureau and others.
She said,“Imran Khan is a conspirator and has the only expertise as how to hatch a conspiracy against Pakistan.” He was the root-cause of all the problems being faced by the country, she added.
