The 12-years Plan
She said people should be grateful that the country had returned from the precipice of a disaster after four years under the PTI, otherwise, the “cabal of five had made plans for the next 12 years”. She asked to imagine Pakistan in the next 12 years if the cabal of five had continued.”
The cabal of amateur
She said the “cabal of players and amateurs” had wrecked the economy and launched “suicide attacks” on it adding that she would share name pictures of the cabal and they would be made public “whether that is Khosa or the dam guy (Nisar) or Imran or his two crutches”.
PML-N responsibility to Save the Country
Maryam alleged that the quintet plundered the country together day and night. “Someone was taking diamond rings, someone taking plots. Someone was making money through the land while someone was sending money to Dubai. Others made a house on several hundred kanals in Chakwal.” She said it’s PML-N responsibility to save the country from the lot.
Opening the Doors of Militancy after PML-N eliminated it
On the issue of terrorism resurge in the country, Maryam said the PML-N had eliminated militancy in the country and questioned why it was cropping up again.

Capacity-building against Terrorism
