Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, Marriyum asked Imran Khan to sit and relax in house and wait for elections till August 2023. Marriyum said the PTI’s government has done the politics of revenge for four years, adding that why the things which he (Imran Khan) said today were not said by him (Imran) during his rule of four years.

Marriyum questioned PTI leadership that why the masses should elect the party (PTI), which has failed to fulfil even a single promise with them, adding that the masses have rejected PTI. Marriyum alleged that according to the plan, PTI workers have injured the policemen, adding that if the PTI’s protest was peaceful, then how the weapons have collected.
Marriyum said setting the trees on fire and announcing the ‘Bloody March’ are against the democratic rights, adding that if PTI will took to the streets again with weapons and sticks, then more strict action will be taken.
