No PDM leader condemned Ayaz Sadiq's statement: Shibli Faraz
There is public resentment over the statements made against the state institutions: Shibli
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz has said that neither Ayaz Sadiq showed any regret over his statement nor any other leader of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) condemned statement by former speaker of National Assembly.
Addressing a news conference today, he said certain elements from opposition parties have spoken against the state institutions for securing their vested interests; however; government will not allow anyone to give statements against the state institutions and damage the country’s image.
The Minister said former Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq’s anti-state statement provided the Indian media an opportunity to unleash propaganda against Pakistan.
He said the elements, which are harming the country, will be held accountable, and in this regard, legal options are being deliberated upon.
The Minister said the PDM is following the narrative of destabilizing the country. However, he said, the saner elements within the opposition parties do not agree to the narrative of their leaders, which aims at stoking instability in the country.
He said there is also public resentment over the statements made against the state institutions.
