Aurangzeb, held a press conference, and claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had published the article through a controversial Lahore-based journalist. [She didn’t mention the name].
“Everyone knows about the credibility of the Daily Mail,” she said, adding that the real news was regarding the 18 fake [bank] accounts of PM Khan, the fear of which has spread.
“You can’t fail the [yesterday’s] strike [observed by traders across several cities of Pakistan] by publishing such news…Khan saab try some other move,” she further said, adding that the tactic of false and baseless media trial has failed. Marriyum said a legal action would be taken against PM Imran Khan and his assistant Shehzad Akbar for such baseless allegations.
Contrarily, several senior leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lashed out at the president of the PML-N, Shehbaz Sharif, over the claims made in the report.
