PML-N leader slams PTI over top court’s remarks about KP police

LAHORE: Minister for Pakistan Railway Khawaja Saad Rafique on Wednesday slammed the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government over failure to nab the culprit behind the rape and murder of four-year-old Asma in Mardan.

In a series of tweets, the PML-N leader launched a bitter diatribe on political opponents, particularly PTI, which has been in power in KP for more than four years, for not conceding what he said its incompetence to bring the perpetrator in the Asma murder case to justice.

He said PTI chief Imran Khan’s association with the province remained only to the extent of using the provincial government’s resources.

The KP had been burning while Imran was busy telling lies, he added.The PTI, which, according to him, had always slandered others, had never conceded its incompetence and negligence, he added.

Rafique said the KP police’s failure to arrest the perpetrators behind the murder of Mashal Khan, Asma, and Aasma was bad governance.“Why PTI has been tight-lipped over the Supreme Court’s remarks about KP police’s incompetence,” the minister asked, adding that those chiding others over court remarks should concede their incompetence.

The KP police lately received a lot of flak from the apex court over failure to bring the murderer of Asma to justice.
