LAHORE -UNS: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Sunday thanked the Pakistan Army for defending the country’s nuclear programme.
Addressing a rally in Lahore, Ms Nawaz also thanked other law enforcement agencies, politicians, scientists, and engineers who played an important role in the country’s nuclear programme.
Taking a fresh jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, she said, ” The world remembers those people who are not involved in vandalism and develop the country”. Ms Nawaz praised the PML-N supremo, saying, “Nawaz Sharif name can be underscored in terms of the development and defence of the country.”
“When Nawaz Sharif decided to approve a nuclear test, the world mounted pressure on the country. Even Bill Clinton asked Nawaz Sharif not to conduct a nuclear test,” she added.
“It was even said that the country would face sanctions, but Nawaz Sharif faced all the challenges. Despite facing political vendetta, the PML-N did not split. Nawaz Sharif’s aides stand firmly with him,” Ms Nawaz maintained.
