Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Thursday said the “watch seller” Imran Khan instilled hatred in the hearts and minds of people who had not only burnt history, but also national monuments, ambulances, and rare heritage.
“This is the burnt building of Radio Pakistan Peshawar where the historic announcement of independence and establishment of Pakistan was made,” she said while sharing videos of the ransacked building of Radio Station in Peshawar.
It was the oldest radio station, which was established in 1932, she added.
She said Marconi, the inventor of wireless waves, gifted the radio to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at the request of the then Chief Minister of North-West Frontier Province. Marconi himself visited the province for installing the Radio.
Marriyum regretted that flames of Imran Khan’s ego engulfed the historical gift. Those who burnt the national assets would be held accountable at all cost, she added.
The minister said puppets of Imran Khan, who undermined national interests, committed blatant crimes on May 9 under an orchestrated plan.
On May 9, violent protests were reported across the country following the arrest of Imran Khan in a corruption case.
Both the Pakistan Army and government have condemned the incidents and vowed to take exemplary action against those who were involved in such heinous crimes.
