LAHORE: Faisal Mir, the Lahore President of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), has called for the government to reveal the details of the account where the rent for Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s aircraft is allegedly deposited. Speaking at the birthday celebration of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday, Mir urged Maryam Nawaz to disclose the bank name, account title, account number, and the receipt for the deposited amount.
He warned that if official records of the aircraft rental payment are not presented, it would be seen as a concealment of facts. Mir also stated that the PPP will take the matter to a legal forum to uncover the truth behind Maryam Nawaz’s claim and the alleged payment, emphasizing that action should be taken against her if she misled the nation, in line with the constitution and the law.
He reiterated that the law is equal for all and that the same principle under which former Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani was disqualified should also apply to the PML-N leader. Mir criticized the ruling party for allegedly granting privileges to the wealthy and increasing inflation for the poor in every budget, proposing an additional tax of at least Rs50,000 on vehicles over 1500cc to shift the tax burden from the poor to the wealthy.
