“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 taunts 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.
