Maryam Nawaz terms Imran Khan as mastermind of May 9 violence 

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz chief organizer Maryam Nawaz termed PTI chairman Imran Khan as the mastermind of the May 9 violence, reported the 24NewsHd TV channel. 

Addressing a seminar of Ulema and Mashaikh Punjab here on Saturday, she urged religious scholars to play their due role in the establishment of peace and harmony in the society.

She said the people of Pakistan have a strong association with Islam and it is the duty of the Ulema to snub the elements involved in the fanning of extremism in the society.

Taking a jibe at PTI Chairman Imran Khan, she said that Imran Khan inflicted irreparable loss to the vital interests of the country to such an extent as our eternal enemy could not prove successful to harm the country in 75 years.

Terming the Al-Qadir trust case as the biggest scandal of corruption, she said that Imran Khan caused a loss of billions of rupees to the national exchequer and there was no political vengeance behind Imran Khan's arrest.

Condemning the PTI chief Imran Khan for playing religious cards for political gains, Maryam Nawaz said Imran Khan is responsible to tarnish the social and religious fabric of the society. "Using religion for politics is a crime
What our enemy could not do, the fitna did," she lamented. 
Maryam further said that she was not in favor of military courts, but facilitation continued in civil courts. She said that lame excuses are being presented in the court of law by PTI leaders to gain leniency whereas PML-N leaders faced their cases with courage and determination.

She said PTI chairman Imran Khan was harboring terrorists in his residence in Zaman Park, Lahore. “Some terrorists have been arrested from his house. The whole world saw the evidence from whom he asked for evidence,” she added.  

PML-N Vice President said Imran Khan was planning terrorist activities after putting a plaster on his leg.    

She said that the judiciary is harmed not from the outside but by its decisions. 

“Some controversial judges have become facilitators of Ladley (Imran Khan),” Maryam Nawaz lamented.  

She also questioned whether PTI leaders including Yasmin Rashid, Ijaz Chowdhury, and Hassan Niazi need evidence.
