Maryam says will lead protest rallies across Pakistan, asks people to join
85
Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of incarcerated former premier Nawaz Sharif and a vice-president of the PML-N, announced on Tuesday that she would be leading protest rallies across the country and asked people who wish "to live in a free, democratic and just Pakistan" to join.
"Insha’Allah I shall be leading protest rallies across Pakistan that will not only ask for justice for Nawaz Sharif but demand rule of law, freedom of expression, end to manipulation of the entire system to punish public representatives, stealing people’s mandate, imposition of selected," said Maryam on Twitter.
"Every Pakistani who wishes to live in a free, democratic and just Pakistan must join," she added.
Although Maryam did not specify when the protest rallies would start, PML-N shared on Twitter that she would address a rally in Faisalabad on Sunday [July 21].
Maryam has been at the forefront of PML-N's allegations against judge Arshad Malik, who convicted Nawaz Sharif in the Al Azizia reference last year.
On July 7, while addressing a rally in Mandi Bahauddin, she asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to resign and “go home”, urging the crowd to chant slogans along with her.
Speaking on the leaked video of judge Malik, she said that keeping the PML-N supremo in jail would be a crime now, alleging that his sentencing had been “given under immense pressure”.
Maryam was given a rousing welcome by a large number of party workers on the Motorway and other points on way to Mandi Bahauddin.

Oil prices have been raised world wide due to Iran and Venezuela sanctions. Pakistan is not only country in the world feeling the burn, it’s global!!
Secondly, why don’t people question why are we here today complaining and how did we get there. It didn’t happened in last 10 - 11 months right? It’s been in world for decades and the PPP’s and PLMN’s were at the helm during those times.
Tax increase is an issue cause a country that is poster child of not paying tax, where 1% chips in for rest. Where people who do t pay tax expect the hover to provide basic necessities while withholding their contribution will have an issue when asked to be taxed.
Why is it that these same so called Pakistani’s looking for leadership have their families, this empires outside of Pakistan. Why is it they pay taxes in England, US or wherever and in Pakistan, it becomes “this is not my house, it’s my mothers”.
Honestly I use to question why my parents left

Protest rallies for what? She is a convict like her father. What credibility does she have to lead anything let alone a rally. Naya Pkaistan is happening slowly but surely and the opposition who have looted the people of Pakistan for decades does not like it a bit. They will do everything in their power to denounce progress or the good IK is bringing to the people of Pakistan. In the end his honesty, sincerity and the true love for Pakistan and the people of Pakistan will prevail.

Time is up for this Selected and failed PM, issue of our nation has always been that we look at the people rather than looking at their actions, when you say Nawaz Sharif most of the Pakistani's think of his wealth, his families wealth, his apartments in London and they condemn him to hell, instead of looking at the prosperous 2013-2018, they look at Imran Khan and see "the world cup winner, the cricketer, the cancer hospital maker" and start singing his praises and they do not think of all the lies he has told and his actions during the 2013-2018 in which he had government in KPK but ignored it totally and put all his efforts in trying to throw over the government and come into power by any means necessary.

As to sentence of N.Sharif, It is unsafe now as if any one sees video Of judge talking to muslim league supporter, He is not fit to be a judge. Nawaz Sharif should be freed from convictions and allowed to retried. If this is not possible, then let him be free as benefit of doubt under law goes to accused. Please follow letter of the law otherwise there is no hope for the country. under circumtances, this is Nawaz Sharif's basic human right. UNless we understand this as a nation, we can't progress. Islam also teaches us justice. I know what above named and his family did was wrong but one wrong does not make two wrongs right.
