PTI leaders lash out at government after Maryam’s acquittal.
‘Real reason behind Imran’s ouster,’ PTI respond to Maryam’s acquittal. In a strong response to PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz‘s acquittal in a corruption case, PTI said that it was the “real reason” behind PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s ouster.
The PTI has been building a narrative since its ouster in April that the party’s removal from the government was the incumbent rulers’ strategy to get themselves acquitted of corruption.
PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the state institutions have lost the nation’s confidence and said that their decisions have “no value” in the people’s court.
“Beyond any doubt, it is another dark day in the history of Pakistan,” he added.
In a tweet, PTI Secretary-General leader Asad Umar said: “Inflation is increasing day by day and cases of imported government leaders are being dismissed daily.”
“These are the main reason[s] for which Imran Khan was removed through conspiracy.”

An accountability court, just ahead of the 2018 General Elections, slapped Maryam with a fine of £2 million and sentenced her to seven years of imprisonment for being “instrumental in concealment of the properties of her father” and one year for non-cooperation with the bureau — sentences for which were due to run concurrently.
