“A person who is the biggest liar, chaos-maker, and imposter has unfortunately entered Pakistani politics. He used to tell folks that we are slaves in the US. His conspiracy theories kept people occupied. In Pakistan’s history, this is the largest drama “The Tribune, a local newspaper, reported what she said. Imran Khan, the deposed prime minister, “has been disparaging US diplomat Donald Lu in his talks,” Maryam continued.

According to local media outlets, Maryam Nawaz said that Punjab was like an orphan during the PTI’s tenure. However, now that the lion is back, Punjab will prosper as it once did. In addition, she lashes out at the ousted premier for using a “religion card” and stating that people were injured because of his irresponsible behavior.
