Maryam wonders why Imran goes scot-free.

MULTAN -- Senior Vice President and Chief Organiser of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz, said on Monday the people of Pakistan were in high spirits despite the rising inflation as she blamed the wrong policies of the previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for price-hike.

She also accused former chief justices of Supreme Court Asif Saeed Khosa and Saqib Nisar of victimising the PML-N leaders. 'We faced vengeance, but they [the PTI] committed crimes, for which these...
