PML-N rejects startling allegations of man claiming to be party spokesperson
138
Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday clarified that Tasneem Haider — a man claiming to be PML-N's spokesperson in London — had no link or anything to do with the ruling party and rejected startling allegations made by him.
Earlier in the day, video clips from Haider's press conference started doing rounds on social media. They were also shared by several PTI leaders.
In the clips, Haider alleged that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was part of the plot to murder slain journalist Arshad Sharif and the assassination attempt on former prime minister Imran Khan.
It is pertinent to mention here that the purported press conference was first aired by ARY News.
Responding to the allegations, Aurangzeb categorically said that Haider was not the PML-N London branch's spokesperson and had no relation with the party.
"No one should try to become [the] party spokesperson by force," she said, adding that if Haider had any evidence regarding Arshad Sharif's murder then he should present it before the forum of the joint investigation team.
The information minister also challenged the ARY Network to air his press conference in the UK.
"They don't broadcast fake news in Britain because they have already been fined for lying.
"Forgery, lies and fake news cannot divert attention from Arshad Sharif's real killers," Aurangzeb said.

Every day a new lie, a new story, an abrupt turn and finally a complete U-turn.
Every one knows that ARY TV channel is an official TV channel of PTI from where fake news begins with the start of the day and finishes with a new and fabricated lie.
Serious people in the country do not watch ARY TV channel, as every one knows that ARY TV channel is a pro PTI's TV channel and lack in rating among other local TV channels.

"“Forgery, lies and fake news cannot divert attention from Arshad Sharif’s real killers." True, well said Aurangzeb. PML-N may have that desire but it does not have that clout or reach. The long arm, callous and deadly, belongs to quite another entity. Khan better be more proactive, protected and prepared for a potential second attempt on his life even though he may have become complacent thinking he has watered down his initial demands sincerely attempted reconciliation.
