Use of force denotes govt's fear: Bilawal
Bilawal termed the action of the government a jibe at democracy
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pervez Elahi of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q), chief of Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Mustafa Kamal among leaders of other opposition parties have denounced torture of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insf’s (PTI) supporters in Islamabad on Thursday evening.
Bilawal termed the action of the government a jibe at democracy and said that use of force denoted government’s fear.
Chaudhry Pervez Elahi said that peaceful protest was every political party’s right in a democratic setting.
Qamar Zaman Kaira, former information minister has criticised the government by claiming that Nawaz-administration has itself begun to paralyse Islamabad.
Leaders of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) addressed an emergency press conference in the metropolitan in the evening after workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were baton charged and detained by Islamabad police.
Kaira has said that though ‘lockdown’ strategy was not the right way to go, PTI reserved the right to protest. He alleged the government of attempting to suppress different affairs using force.
The former federal minister said that the government held a key to peace in the country that it should be exercising. It was PPP’s responsibility to help both the sides, the government and PTI reach an understanding, Kaira added.
He alleged the government of being habitual of picking a fight with almost every institution.
