Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon claimed on Thursday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan had resorted to wicked tactics against the country.
Speaking to media, Mr Memon claimed, “Those people who kept on busy conspiring against the country, now openly supporting Imran Khan.” He took a jibe at the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), saying, “The JI was not only about elections from Karachi. The JI also rejected Karachi, like other places. It was due to the boycott of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) that the JI got an opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Syeda Shehla Raza Zaidi on Thursday said that instead of focusing on the economy, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan had used his energies on unleashing political victimization against the rivals during his stint in the government. Talking to a private news channel, she said that Imran Khan had made the country’s economy sink and now he was busy making the institutions controversial, which may further weaken the country.
In response to a question about the solution to get the country out of the political and economic crises, she said that despite repeated invitations for talks, Imran Khan was refusing to sit down with the government. “If Imran is sincere with the country and nation, then he has to sit with the political parties on national issues, as this is the only solution to get the country out of the current crisis,” she added. On the question about holding elections, she said the PPP had never run away from participating in the democratic process, adding that her party wanted elections to be held in a peaceful environment so that no one could point a finger at the results.
