ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Wednesday that the government had nothing to do with the arrest warrants of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan as police was implementing the court’s orders.
She told reporters , “Imran has been giving the impression that the government is arresting him, but media should inform the public about the actual position regarding Imran Khan’s arrest warrants. Tyrian’s father, a Toshakahana thief, a foreign agent, and a person guilty of contempt of court are on the run from the police, the minister claimed. She claimed that Imran Khan was attempting to portray himself as an elderly and disabled man, with a plastered leg, and a miserable life.
Castrating Imran, the minister claimed that Imran had a habit of lying and had been claiming to be prepared for an uprising while also being too ill to appear in court. She referred to Imran as a hypocrite and a coward, and claimed that the liar wanted chaos and civil war in Pakistan.
She claimed Imran wanted to destabilize Pakistan and was misleading the populace by blaming the administration for the arrest warrant. She added, “If the government had to arrest (Imran), it had the authority of the state, which Imran Khan used for the past four years by imprisoning his political rivals.
She added that this person was using a human bunker and trying to create the impression that the government was arresting him and intended to kill him while hiding behind children and women and using them as a shield. She argued that Imran Khan should have been made aware that he was wanted in connection with the cases of foreign funding, Tyrian, Toshakhana, and Zeba judge contempt of court. The minister claimed that the court had ordered the police to bring Imran Khan into court following his arrest and had issued an arrest warrant for him. Imran Khan should be aware that no political leader has ever attempted to hide behind women and children, and that this is how his political obituary has been written.
She said so far 65 police personnel had been injured while executing the court’s orders.
The minister said that police personnel deployed in Zaman Park to arrest Imran were not equipped with arms and ammunition, they had come to arrest a criminal on the court’s orders.
Taking a jibe on Imran Khan, she said the person who called himself “Bahadur Khan” was hiding under the bed today, though he had claimed to challenge United States. She clarified that Imran Khan was a criminal who had been summoned by the court.
“If the court had arrested this person for violating the constitution, we would not have to see this day when he dissolved the National Assembly to defeat the no-confidence motion”, she remarked.
The court should have ordered his arrest on May 25, the day he created chaos in the country and innocent people lost lives, she said. The court should have ordered his arrest the day the policeman was shot from the roof of the house of his party activist or the day when this man attacked the court with a mob. “PTI is not a political party, it is a group of terrorists, the media should also tell the real facts of this ‘marathon’ to the people “, Marriyum Aurangzeb said.
The minister said so far 65 Police and Rangers personnel were injured and hospitalized in their bid to arrest him on court’s orders
