  • ‘If you want to understand the living example of narcissism, it is Imran Ahmed Niazi’: Shazia Marri

    Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MNA Shazia Marri on Thursday criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the National Assembly (NA), by calling the former prime minister a “narcissist”.

    Calling Khan a “Manchurian candidate”, Marri referred to Imran Khan’s previous statement and said that he was of the view that it was better to throw an atom bomb on Pakistan than let the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) rule the country.

    “He is the one who says ghabrana nahi hai [don’t worry] and turns up in courts covering his head with a protection box,” the head of Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) said. Marri further questioned whether anyone has ever seen any leader going to court wearing a protective box on their head. “He loves his face. He is obsessive about himself,” said Marri.

    “If you want to understand the living example of narcissism, it is Imran Ahmed Niazi,” she stated. “He loves himself… he loves everything about himself. He doesn’t love his children. He doesn’t love his family, and anybody for me who doesn’t love his family, children does not love anyone,” said the federal minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety.

    “He lies to everyone. He is misleading everyone. He keeps asking the youth to turn up and show up, first he should bring back his children. Why are you including our children in your fight. You should set an example,” said Marri.

    Reading our Khan’s statement in the NA, where the PTI chairman had said that if the government tires to sabotage the elections and you [PTI supporters] don’t come out in the streets, then even God will not forgive you, the federal minister said, “We don’t need morality lessons from him [Khan].”

    ‘Tumhare baap ka hai Lahore?’: Shazia Marri lashes out at Khan

    Federal Minister Shazia Atta Marri in a press conference lashed out at former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and said that the abusive culture that Khan has nurtured in Pakistan does not represent our values.

    Commenting on the criticism at Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari by Khan and his party leaders for visiting Lahore before the chief minister Punjab election, Marri said, “Tumhare baap ka nahi hai Lahore. Woh [Asif Ali Zardari] Pakistan kay kisi bhi hissay mein jaa saakte hain.” [Lahore is not owned by your father. He can visit any place in Pakistan.]

    “Will Asif Ali Zardari ask a person like Imran Khan whether he should visit Lahore or not to meet his political coalition partners?” questioned Marri.

    “This is a ridiculous reaction that we are witnessing. There is a way to talk. Imran Khan has made the public blind with his abusive narrative of disrespecting his opponents,” said Marri.

    “Imran Khan, apni hudood mein raho”: Maulana Fazl

    Jamat-e-Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman warned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan that he needs to stay within his limits.

    “Imran Khan, apni hudood main raho, Jamiat walay zinda hain.” [Imran Khan, stay in your limits, the people of JUI-F are alive.]

    “We will make it very difficult for the PTI supporters to come out and support you,” said Maulana.
