ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill on Saturday said the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) and other legal options will be utilised if “absconding” former premier Nawaz Sharif addresses the multiparty conference and his speech is aired.
“How is this possible that a fugitive carries out political activities and give speeches,” he questioned in a tweet. The Sharif family couldn’t say anything other than lies, he said, adding they are such big liars that they even tell lies about the PML-N supremo’s health.
اگر مفرور مجرم نواز شریف نے اے پی سی سے خطاب کیا اور ان کا خطاب نشر ہوا تو پیمرا اور دیگر قانونی آپشن استعمال ہوں گے۔ یہ کس طرح ممکن ہے کہ ایک مفرور مجرم سیاسی ایکٹیوٹییز کرے اور بھاشن دے-شریف خاندان جھوٹ کے علاوہ کچھ نہیں بول سکتا۔ اتنے جھوٹے ہیں کہ بیماری پر بھی جھوٹ بولتے ہیں۔
