ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has termed the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as a conspiracy against Pakistan.

Addressing a news conference here in Islamabad on Wednesday, she said Imran Khan has himself obtained pre-arrest bail, but asking his workers to participate in so-called “Tehreek”. She said whenever Pakistan comes back on track, Imran Khan and his party hatch conspiracy against the country. She said Imran Khan is not appearing before the court as he cannot defend corruption charges against him. She said the PTI Chief is avoiding Foreign Funding Case since 2014.

The Minister strongly criticized the previous government for current economic crisis in the country saying that PTI government was responsible for the inflation in the country and their imprudent economic policies resulted into economic meltdown. Marriyum Aurangzeb said PTI government victimized its political opponents, but none of the corruption charges could have been proved against them.
