ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Sunday accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of prioritising political point-scoring over the country’s interests.
Rana Sanaullah said the opposition had the right to protest but urged them to choose another date. "On 14th August, the entire nation will celebrate Independence Day and creating chaos and anarchy on that day is extremely unfortunate and goes against our traditions," he added.
Referring to the PTI’s protest on August 5, he said the entire nation stood with Kashmiris, yet the opposition chose to pursue political agendas instead of showing solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
He further alleged that PTI leaders incited violence while their supporters attacked government buildings and installations. He added that police had gathered evidence, including undercover recordings of meetings where “secret plans” to incite unrest were discussed.
