ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz Friday said the creation of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and the public meeting of Gujranwala proved that only Prime Minister Imran Khan was standing against the status quo.

Previously, Faraz said the participants of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), who called a public meeting in Gujranwala to frustrate the democratically elected government, had used abusive language against each other.

The suggestion has been given to these participants of PDM, to put handkerchief on faces for hiding identification from each other, he added.

Sanitizers, mask and water had been provided to the participants of the public meetings, Senator Faraz stated adding that ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who went to London to enjoy medical treatment had started politics from there, he said.
