Maryam Nawaz responds after PM Imran refuses to accept Asim Bajwa’ resignation

LAHORE – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz responding to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s move to refuse resignation of his special aide Asim Saleem Bajwa remarked the narrative of accountability had died its own death.

Maryam in a tweet said, “Had he [Imran Khan] accepted the resignation, he would have had to resign himself”.

“ Thank you for explaining to the nation why and how NRO is given, to whom it is given,” she said, adding that the NRO is given to each other.

She further said that the answer will still have to be given. “ Will you take the name of accountability?” he asked while addressing to the prime minister.

احتساب کا بیانیہ اپنی موت آپ مر گیا۔ استعفی منظور کر لیتے تو خود بھی مستعفی ہونا پڑ جاتا۔ NRO کیوں اور کیسے دیا جاتا ہے، کس کو دیا جاتا ہے، ایک دوسرے کو دیا جاتا ہے، قوم کو سمجھانے کا شکریہ۔ جواب تو پھر بھی دینا پڑے گا ! اب لو گے احتساب کا نام ؟
