Imran on mission to spread chaos: Marriyum

Javed Latif says mobs won’t be allowed to influence state affairs

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Thursday castigated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan “for creating chaos, anarchy and polarisation in the country”.

“There has been choas, anarchy and hatred in the country due to Imran Khan who is bent on spreading his Fitna to create disorder, mischief and arson,” she said in a news statement. She asked Imran Khan what goals he wanted to achieve by closing down roads. Marriyum said Imran Khan, who once gagged the media and others, was now closing down the roads. She regretted that the schools and hospitals were closed due to Imran Khan. The minister said the person, who robbed the people of their medicine, now shutting down the roads leading to hospitals.

Imran Khan, who deprived the people of jobs, electricity, gas and bread, was now closing down the roads, she maintained. The minister lashed out at Imran Khan for doing politics over floods and called him a “stubborn” and “fascist”. She said Imran Khan should have spent the money, which he was using for arson, on the rehabilitation of flood victims.

Marriyum said the money that Imran Niazi was spending on setting the country on fire should have been spent on providing food and warm clothes to the flood victims. Imran Khan should have spent the money, which he was utilising to close schools and hospitals, on building schools and hospitals in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, she added.

Meanwhile, Federal Minister Javed Latif on Thursday said that mobs would not be allowed to influence the state of affairs by creating instability in the country. While addressing a press conference, he said that the minds of youngsters were being polluted with negativity. He said the youth was getting the message that unconstitutional demands could be made by using pressure tactics.

He said Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan had not obtained a medical report and did not fulfil the legal requirements for lodging the first investigative report (FIR). He said Imran Khan was putting the economy and foreign policy of the country at the stake. He said that provinces were empowered with the 18th amendment of the constitution and the same constitution ensured the protection of the Federal Capital. He said Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) had never crossed the red line and avoided the confrontation due to the party’s sincerity with the country.

Also, Federal Minister for Power Khurram Dastagir Khan on Thursday said the federal government wanted to hold free and fair elections as no one raised any question of its transparency. Talking to a private news channel, he said that the federal government was formed by the coalition of different political parties and they secured 68% votes, holding a two-thirds majority and was “true representation”.
