PDM's call for march 'irresponsible and immoral': Sheikh Rashid

Sheikh Rashid has advised the PDM to move the demonstration to April.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has called the PDM’s decision to call a march on Pakistan Day an “extremely irresponsible and immoral” move, Dunya News reported on Monday.

“Pakistan’s armed forces stage a national parade on March 23 which is attended by citizens, ambassadors and various delegates,” he said in a series of tweets.

The minister said that Islamabad was on high alert for the parade, adding that some roads were closed two or three days in advance in order to prepare.

He said that announcing a march at such a time was not a sign of goodwill towards the country. He also advised the PDM to move the demonstration to April.
