Maryam says not afraid of FIRs as police book PML-N leaders

PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday said they were not afraid of cases as so many FIRs had been registered against them, adding that the entire world witnessed how Lahore came out and welcomed her during Monday’s rally, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The remarks came as multiple cases were registered against the PML-N leaders and workers in several police stations in the provincial capital after Monday’s rally.

Talking to media persons at Jati Umra before leaving for Islamabad to attend the much-awaited PDM leadership meeting, Maryam said the FIRs did not have any value as the government would soon have to go.

She noted that the people tired of inflation and joblessness were looking towards the PDM and Nawaz Sharif as a messiah.

Replying to a question, Maryam said that she did not want to comment on any of the government spokespersons. The government was frightened by the PDM rally in Lahore scheduled for December 13, the PML-N leader remarked.

“Talking about law and Constitution does not suit the government,” remarked the PML-N leader.
