ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan on Saturday said that by calling the proposed charter of economy a “joke”, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz “had made fun of her own uncle [Shehbaz Sharif]”. The idea of a charter of economy has been proposed by both the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and PML-N. In a fiery press conference earlier in the day, ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz had termed the ‘meesaaq-e-maeeshat’ (charter of economy) as a mazaaq-i-maeeshat (joke of an economy), adding that there can be no agreement with the current government “that stole the people’s mandate”. Awan said that after today, Maryam must have cast doubt into the minds of certified cardiologists and physicians the world over regarding their qualifications. “So this is the pain that was reflected (in your statements) today,” she said addressing Maryam.
