'Blatant lies, allegations' caused Imran's downfall, says Maryam

ISLAMABAD: Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on Sunday said the reason for the downfall of Imran Khan was his 'blatant lies and allegations', not his political follies.

Maryam Nawaz took to Twitter on Sunday where the Sharif scion said, "The causes of his (Imran) downfall were never his political follies & blunders, but his blatant lies & allegations."

Responding to the PTI chief's suspicions that the Sharif family could have been behind the Dawn news story which ultimately cost Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed his portfolio, she said that security meetings involved security and government officials only.

"If he knew a thing about how government functions, he'd know that security meetings include security & government 'officials' only," Maryam tweeted.
