Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the Masjid-e-Nabawi incident was planned on the orders of Imran Khan, adding that the former prime minister was involved in inciting violence in society, Aaj News reported.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Sunday, the minister said she was eye witness that people sent by Imran Khan were inciting others to raise slogans and hurl abuses at her in the courtyard of Masjid-e-Nabvi.

Marriyum said that Imran Khan had failed to prove a single penny of corruption and money laundering and misuse of authority against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in the last four years.

“Imran Khan put his political opponents in jails and detained them in death cells but he could not prove anything wrong against them in a court of law,” she added.

She said Imran Khan kept busy in using NAB, Federal Investigation Agency and other government authorities to victimize political opponents and did not pay any attention to mitigate the sufferings of the people of Pakistan. She said people are facing high inflation and unemployment in the country due to the incompetence of Imran Khan.

The Minister said it is the people of Pakistan, who through their elected representatives, voted out Imran Khan from power. She said what an irony it is that Imran Khan is defending his front-person Farah Gogi, whose assets surged to billions of rupees.

Talking about the corruption of Imran Khan, she said that Khan retained gifts from Tosha Khana as well as expensive BMW vehicle worth 150 million rupees. She said a pistol gifted by a foreign dignitary was even not listed with the Tosha Khana and Imran Khan retained that with him illegally.

Highlighting the successful tours of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the minister said for the first time Islamabad and Riyadh is going to forge a strategic partnership. She said Finance Minister Miftah Ismail is still staying back in Saudi Arabia to finalize the future framework of cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. She said Imran Khan is not digesting the reception and warmth accorded to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during his visit to KSA and UAE.

Answering a question, the Minister said the law will take its course if anyone violates the law.
