ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Wednesday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s “save the judiciary” movement is a slap on the face of the justice system of the country.
In a tweet, the minister called Imran Khan a foreign-funded agent and ‘Tosha Khana thief’ who handed over $190 million from the national exchequer to an individual and received bribery through Al Qadir Trust.

عمران کی عدلیہ بچاؤ تحریک ملک کے نظام عدل کے منہ پہ طمانچہ ہے. فارن فنڈڈ ایجنٹ ، توشہ خانہ چور ، قوم کے 190 ملین کا امانت خور ، القادر ٹرسٹ کا رشوت خور، عدالتی بھگوڑا گیدڑ عدلیہ بچانے نہیں بلکہ اپنے جرائم سے فرار عدلیہ سے بچنے نکلا ہے۔ pic.twitter.com/5IPISBVucS— Marriyum Aurangzeb (@Marriyum_A) March 8, 2023
She said that a judicial absconder’s campaign was not to save the judiciary but an effort to avoid appearance in courts to escape arrest.
Taking a jibe at Imran, she said that a brave leader like Nawaz Sharif could save the judiciary, not a cowardly person like Imran Khan. She said instead of hiding behind the “save the judiciary” campaign, Imran should face the law of the land.
She asked why Imran did not think of saving the judiciary when he used to call Saqib Nisar to obtain the fake “Sadiq and Amin” certificate. — APP
