Maryam Nawaz Sharif
Opposition leader Maryam Nawaz slams Pak PM by sharing his old statement on Umrah trip
Islamabad/UNI: Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Imran Khan over his visit to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz said he is on tour when the country is facing its worst inflation.
Taking to Twitter, Nawaz shared a statement given by Imran Khan in 2014 wherein he had criticized then premier Nawaz Sharif for going to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah (Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca).
"The country is on the verge of destruction yet Nawaz Sharif has gone to perform Umrah," Khan said. He was part of the Opposition at the time.
Geo TV quoted Maryam as saying when her father had gone to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, the country was "neither undergoing destruction nor was anyone attending wedding functions at the government's expense."
On October 22, the opposition parties had launched anti-inflation campaign across the country against the government. They were protesting against "the worst inflation in the country's history".
