Maryam Nawaz, the Vice President of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan over the detention of a journalist, asking whether he was a "sacred cow" whose "looting and failures cannot be criticised."
"The kidnapping of Sabir Mehmood Hashmi in broad daylight speaks to the government's disillusionment," Maryam Nawaz wrote in a tweet on Monday. Is Imran Khan a holy cow who cannot be chastised for his thievery and failures?" According to media reports, Hashmi was detained by the country's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Monday, suspected of creating immoral trends against Khan on social media.
Hashmi's phone and other things have also been confiscated by the agency. Maryam Nawaz went on to state in her tweet that the PML-N is standing with the journalist and that the FIA should not be a government puppet.
Khan voiced his displeasure with the indecent trend of personal assaults while chairing a meeting of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) on Monday. The Prime Minister criticised the crime, calling it "cheap and unacceptable," and stating that "such elements must be left unchecked, and their activities must be condemned."
