Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz Sharif accused on Sunday the government of using taxpayers’ money for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) million march in Islamabad, Aaj News reported.
Addressing a press conference along with the Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz in Gujranwala, Maryam said that PM Imran Khan had directed local administrations of each district in Punjab to provide 200 buses for Sunday’s rally.
“They allocated special trains, used the taxpayers’ money to garner people’s support for the so-called million march, yet could not gather enough people,” she said, adding that people will never support a government that forced them to buy basic household items like ghee at Rs500 per kg.
“People have not forgotten the sugar scandal, they haven’t forgotten the medicine, wheat, and petroleum crisis; skyrocketing inflation has forced masses to join the opposition's Mehngai March against the government.”

She said that Imran Khan will be held responsible for using taxpayers’ money on public gatherings, and also criticised him for using the religious card to gain political mileage.
The PML-N Vice-President said that “PM Imran Khan is a coward,” who will try to run away as soon as his government is toppled, but “the Opposition will not let him run away.”
She went on to say that when the premier was held accountable for his misdoings related to the foreign funding case, he used “every means to save himself.”
