Minister of State for Petroleum Dr Musadik Malik came down hard on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership and others for what he called smearing the Sharif family.

Addressing a press conference he said the blame game was exposed after the court acquitted the daughter of former premier Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz Sharif.

The court asked about documents and proof against the Sharif family, they (the rival party) fail to present but they maligned the family, he added. 

They are used to hurling abuses at their opponents, he said adding that Maryam was kept in jail for no reason. 

The minister lambasted Imran Khan for ‘administering oath to his workers in Nazi style’.The minister said Imran Khan was weakening the country economically and politically and his leaked audios exposed a cypher plot. 

“Imran Khan opted for Hitler style in taking oath from his workers yesterday at a gathering. How can such a person be called Sadiq and Amin),” the minister maintained.

He questioned how can a person, who grabbed 450 acres of land from a business tycoon to facilitate him in saving billions of rupees, be called ‘Sadiq’ and ‘Amin’.

Musadik said the leaked audio of Imran Khan had affirmed that he could not be trusted with state secrets and the former premier damaged the country’s foreign policy.
