LAHORE: Senator Pervaiz Rashid of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has said that Interior Minister Rehman Malik will face ‘humiliation’ if he presents his ‘bunch of lies’ in court.

“People will also reject his politics over this lie.”

Commenting on the allegations levelled by Mr Malik against PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and his family, Senator Rahid said the rule of People’s Party was a story of loot and plunder, bringing forth a fresh scam evry other day. According to a press release, he said that instead of levelling false allegations, Mr Malik should give account of billions of rupees looted by ‘his master’; otherwise humiliation was his fate. “Rehman Malik has no threat from anyone except from his own hypocrisy and lies.”

Mr Rahid said that after the Supreme Court judgment convicting the prime minister, the interior minister was trying to hide his misdeeds by mudslinging others. He advised Mr Malik to go to the court and present proofs so that facts should become clear.

Senator Rashid challenged that Mr Malik will never dare go to the NAB. He alleged that Mr Malik had been giving this bunch of lies to PTI chairman Imran Khan for past four years. Earlier he had given the same to former president Pervaiz Musharraf. Before that he himself had lodged cases in the court but could prove nothing, the PML-N leader added.

He recalled that four days ago Mr Malik had submitted such documents to the Supreme Court, but these had been rejected. “Rehman Malik cannot stop implementation of the SC decision by levelling false allegations.”

Mr Rashid said if a dictator could not end politics of the PML-N how would Asif Zardari and his cronies be able to do so.
