LAHORE: PML-N information secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb says the PTI government is seeking an NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) from the parliament to bury its terrible crimes against the country and its people. She has condemned indecent language used by a federal minister about the opposition leaders.

Reacting to the press conference of federal ministers on Monday, she said it was ‘the last shrieks of the petrified and dying corrupt government’ that had lost on all fronts.

“The defeated rented mouthpieces have once again stooped even lower than their previously set records of foul language, indecency, misconduct and crass talk against their political opponents. These uncultured hooligans have been trained to be this way by their ringleader Imran Khan,” she lambasted at federal ministers Faisal Vawda, Fawad Chaudhry and Shibli Faraz for using indecent language against the opposition, especially Maryam Nawaz.

She said those who ranted against and cussed the parliament from the container were begging the parliament for an NRO to bury their terrible crimes.

Condemns language used by minister

“No matter what the incompetent and unqualified PTI hoard does, it will not be given the NRO.”

The former federal minister said the imposed PTI regime was in a state of paranoia because of insecurity and fear of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and its leaders. She stressed that the PDM would not negotiate with those who had robbed the public of its mandate, sugar, flour, electricity, gas and medicines.

“Those who looted people’s Rs400bn in sugar, Rs200bn in flour, Rs122bn in LNG and over Rs 500bn in medicine are pleading for an NRO, which will not be given to them,” Ms Aurangzeb said and rejected all the possibilities of any negotiated settlement with the ruling party. She told the government not to bother sharing any proposals in this regard.

“Such proposals are actually a formal request for an NRO for Imran Khan,” Ms Aurangzeb said.
