Information Minister and PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb categorically rejected Shah’s allegations and said that he was not the PML-N London branch’s spokesperson and had no relation with the party.
“No one should try to become the party spokesperson by force,” she said, adding that if Haider had any evidence regarding Arshad Sharif’s murder then he should present it before the joint investigation team JIT.
The information minister also challenged the ARY Network to air his press conference in the UK. “They don’t broadcast fake news in Britain because they have already been fined for lying. Forgery, lies and fake news cannot divert attention from Arshad Sharif’s real killers,” she said on Twitter.
