Pakistan’s former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, in a scathing attack, has accused the military establishment of threatening his daughter Maryam Nawaz, warning that if anything happens to her Prime Minister Imran Khan and the three top generals would be responsible for it.
In a video message from London, the PML-N chief said that they (military establishment) have threatened to “smash” Maryam if she does not stop (speaking) against them (the military).
“You have stooped so low. First you broke open the Karachi hotel room door where Maryam was staying. Now you are threatening her that if she does not stop, she will be smashed. If anything happens to her Prime Minister Imran Khan, Army chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa, ISI head Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed and Gen. Irfan Malik will be responsible,” he said.
Taunting the military for requesting politicians not to drag it in politics, Sharif said: “You (generals) rigged 2018 polls to impose inept Imran Khan on the nation and after the defeat in the Senate you helped your selected (PM Khan) to get vote of confidence and it is no more a secret”.
Addressing the generals, he said: “What you have done is a grave crime and you will be answerable to your deeds.”
Meanwhile, Maryam, a senior functionary of the PML-N party, said in a tweet that she had not only been threatened but those issuing the threat had also used abusive language.
Earlier, Maryam, 47, named the intelligence agencies being used to pressure PML-N senators to vote for the government candidate in the senate chairman election being held on Friday.
Since September last year, Nawaz Sharif had started taking on the Pakistan Army for their alleged interference in politics and installing their “puppet” government of Imran Khan by “stealing” the 2018 polls.
