LAHORE: The PML-Q has termed the purported video of the accountability judge a flop show of the PML-N, aimed at maligning the judiciary.

“The joint production of Maryam Nawaz and Nasir Butt was a complete flop show. The PML-N raised a hue and cry on this but the facts finally came to the fore,” PML-Q MNA Moonis Elahi said in a tweet on Monday. He said those who hatched conspiracy in this regard had been exposed.

Mr Moonis said there was need to go after the ‘thieves’ to save the country and the government would not spare them.

PTI leader Begum Menhaz Rafi said a judicial commission should be constituted without delay to probe this purported video.

“No one should be allowed to malign the state institutions,” she said and added that the PML-N should have presented this video in the court, instead of gaining sympathy by going in the media.

Meanwhile, Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said Prime Minister Imran Khan was working hard to resolve the problems of the masses and the PML-Q was standing by him. He was talking to a 20-member delegation of Pakistanis from Canada at the Governor’s House on Monday.
