  • According to figures issued by the health department on Saturday, 891,915 cases of diarrhea were reported in the province this year

KARACHI: In September, almost 215,000 cases of watery diarrhea were reported among youngsters in Sindh, the highest number this year so far.

by
imran lies

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said the false narrative of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan declaring the incumbent government a ‘product of conspiracy’ had totally busted and urged the nation to distinguish between truth and fraud.

“Imran Niazi wasted five months of the nation by concocting lies and propaganda about his successor government, however, his own audio leaks exposed his fraudulence,” he said in his address at the foundation-stone laying ceremony of the Bhara Kahu Bypass project.

The prime minister said Imran Khan blamed the politicians as traitors, however in reality, it was he who betrayed the nation.

Adversarial system in Pakistan collapsed after regime change

by
Adversarial system in Pakistan
  • Senior Vice-President of PTI Fawad Chaudhary said that the adversarial system in Pakistan collapsed after the regime change
  • He claimed that in 1980, these seven Sharif brothers had one factory
  • Nawaz Sharif promised not to be part of politics in Pakistan and will reside in a foreign country
  • He played three audios of Nawaz Sharif, Maryam, and Hussain Nawaz where their opinions differed on the properties bought in London

ISLAMABAD: Senior Vice-President of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Fawad Chaudhary said that the adversarial system in Pakistan collapsed after the regime change, BOL News reported on Friday.

“Our system is adversarial, where a lawyer puts forward his opinion and the other lawyer tries to prove his wordings wrong and a judge gives final verdict,” he said.

He claimed that in the money laundering case of Shehbaz Sharif, his lawyer changed and the FIA lawyer is appointed by the government themselves.

“Shehbaz Sharif said his father was hard-working labor. In 1947, seven Sharif brothers came to Lahore from Jati Umra. These 7 brothers worked hard and established Ittefaq Foundry. It got nationalized in 1971 by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.”

He claimed that in 1980, these seven brothers had one factory. During the regime of Zia ul Haq, he gave back these factories to the Sharif family and gave a 50 crore loan to run the factory. A new story began from here where Sharif Family shakes hands with Zia and his team.

“In 1992, Nawaz Sharif became chief minister and till 1997 he became PM 2 times. During this period, only these two Sharif brothers made 27 factories,” Fawad said.

The former federal minister said that in 1990 when he became CM the conceived the idea of the ISB-Lahore motorway which cost Rs23.6 billion and was the most expensive contract of motorways in Asia.

“At the moment it is hyped in the country that the money is being transferred to London. But PPP came into power. In 1994, PPP did investigations against all these scandals named as Hudaibia Investigation under Rahman Malik.”

Fawad claimed that around 15 Million Dollars were transferred from Pakistan to London. “There were two parts in it where at first, the properties were brought in Park lane, London. While in the other part came back to Pakistan.”

He went on to say that the first reference was filed at the end of 1999 by the Pervez Musharraf government.

“Saad Hariri and a Saudi representative came to Pakistan and the martial law Gov. signed an agreement. Where in an affidavit, Nawaz Sharif signed and it was written that the Saudi officials will do agreements with the government on his behalf,” the PTI leader said.

In the agreement, Nawaz Sharif promised not to be part of politics in Pakistan and will reside in a foreign country.

“A BBC documentary proved that properties were brought by Hudaibia papers. It was proved that Ishaq Dar had active involvement in all these cases of money laundering,” he added.

“On April 3, 2016, a German Newspaper published a scandal where it was written that in PANAMA people have shell companies where properties were brought in first world countries and name of Nawaz Sharif was mentioned in it.”

Fawad claimed that Hassan Nawaz sold Rs200 Billion worth of property to Ali Riaz Malik which was not part of this case. The vase we have is just like a tip of the ice. We got to know about this game only came out after an International scandal leaked.

He played three audios of Nawaz Sharif, Maryam, and Hussain Nawaz where their opinions differed on the properties bought in London.

According to him, the Sharif family gave an official statement that Hassan and Hussain Nawaz have resided in Saudi Arabia and the UK where they paid taxes there and had nothing to do with Pakistani laws and are not answerable.

He played a video where Khawaja Asif in the assembly did a speech and gave advice to Nawaz Sharif that cases Like PANAMA are not a public issue and you will get over it.

“Since 2012, only Imran Khan and PTI talked against such cases against the Sharif Family. Supreme Court heard these cases and all pieces of evidence were put forward.”

Fawad said that the court then disqualified Nawaz Sharif as a PM in the first phase by 2 judges and the three judges said that we cannot disqualify a sitting prime minister. They asked for a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) where Army institutions, NAB, and IB officers were involved.

Nawaz Sharif will soon come back to country: Maryam Nawaz

by
Nawaz Sharif coming to Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Vice President of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Nawaz on Thursday said that Maryam Nawaz said that Nawaz Sharif is coming back soon, and the conspirators who removed Nawaz Sharif are now sitting far away.

According to the details, these statements of Maryam Nawaz came out during a presser after not being found guilty on the Avenfield reference. “I saw a reversal of a decision and Allah was in my sight. Lying has a shelf-life but it ends like today. It has been 7 years Mian Saab faced a case for 6 years in which he was not a party,” she said.

“When the PANAMA case erupted, Nawaz Sharif said that he will face this accountability case. Even his loved ones said this is not a legal case, it is a trap for you to disqualify. But Nawaz Sharif wanted to face this case and said his whole family will face this,” She claimed.

“Imran Khan, Whose 26 years of politics is based on Nawaz Sharif. Today I want to see his face as what does he have to say now?” Maryam Nawaz inquired.

She said that Ishaq Dar returned on the Prime Minister’s plane on which he had gone, but the president of the same party who made the accusation swore an oath to Ishaq Dar.

She claimed that Imran khan is a foreign-funded agent who took dollars from foreign countries to conspire against Pakistan. “Imran khan came to the government by foul playing against Nawaz Sharif.”

“When he knew that in Vote of Confidence he’s losing, he started the conspiracy game against his opposition. And now the audio leaks proved that he only wished to play game with the hatched conspiracy verdict.”

She asked whether Imran Khan has considered the country as Gaddafi stadium. “Is national security, national interests, foreign policy a game?”

Maryam also reminded us that when the IMF deal was about to be completed, Shaukat Tarin said to the Punjab and KP minister of finance to write a letter to the IMF so that Pakistan should not receive the money.

“If Pakistan didn’t receive this money the country would have defaulted,” She said.

Based on the conspiracy with Azam Khan he (Imran Khan) violated the oath of a prime Minister and conspired against the interest of Pakistan’s security. “He criticized blatantly the national institutions and your Chief of Staff reads a written letter on a live TV show and talked about division inside the Pakistan Army.”
