ISLAMABAD: The Minister of State for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb said that ensuring national security and safeguarding national interests was the responsibility of the state. Talking to the media outside the Accountability Court and Punjab House here Tuesday, she said that to preserve national interest, a sacrifice had to be offered and consequently the law minister resigned in the larger interest of the nation. The minister added that the former prime minister appeared before the NAB court in spite of the false allegations against him. Marriyum lamented that whenever Nawaz Sharif left for London, an impression was given that he would not return, which was very unreasonable. She also confirmed the meeting between the former prime minister and Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
