Sit back and wait: No need for revenge, says Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE: While referring to the recent cabinet reshuffle under the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government that saw finance minister Asad Umar leaving, former first daughter and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Maryam Nawaz said that there was no need for revenge .

In a tweet, Maryam Nawaz said that revenge wasn’t necessary when those who hurt would eventually face consequences.

“No need for revenge. Just sit back and wait,” she mentioned in a tweet.

Today's cabinet reshuffle came at a time of growing pressure with the rupee losing 30 percent of its value since the start of 2018, stirring sharp inflation.

Asad Umar announced earlier in the day that he will no longer be part of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s federal cabinet.

Umar, the former CEO of Engro, was handpicked by PM Khan as the finance minister to improve economic affairs of the country.

The resignation by the finance minister followed sacking of Petroleum Minister Ghulam Sarwar over unsatisfactory performance, according to sources.
