Pakistan’s Information Minister warned PTI, said this
Attaullah Tarar, the minister of information and broadcasting for Pakistan, issued a warning to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday, stating that “nobody will be allowed to disturb the country’s peace,” according to The Express Tribune.
In response to the PTI’s nationwide demonstration calling for the release of its leader Imran Khan, Tarar said that an anti-riot force is being assembled to address the demonstrators.
According to the Express Tribune, the information minister said in a televised statement that the violent demonstrators who were detained will be tried quickly and that they would be prosecuted effectively to bring them to justice.
Tarar said that the PTI was disseminating a fabricated story about the deaths of party members at the demonstration location due to brutality committed by security forces.
He said that not a single video of the fire had been produced by the party. He emphasized that the Polyclinic and PIMS hospitals have made it clear that they have not received any corpses.
Aimal Wali Khan, the president of the Awami National Party (ANP), has already demanded that PTI and all other violent political parties be banned, according to Dawn.
Speaking at a press conference at the ANP central secretariat in Wali Bagh on Friday alongside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi, Khan claimed that the party founded by Imran Khan has been operating in an undemocratic and nonpolitical manner since its founding and has consistently incited violent behavior.
He urged tough measures to be taken against political groups and organizations like PTI and Tehreek-i-Labbaik that broke the law and incited violence. According to Aimal Wali Khan, the Balochistan Assembly’s ANP members supported a motion that called for the PTI to be banned.
He referred to PTI as “waste that should be disposed of” and said that the state had forced PTI on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the last 12 years, but Dawn noted that these measures had not produced any outcomes.
According to Aimal Wali Khan, the issues that the people are facing have not been resolved by the governor’s administration. “The governor won’t resolve key issues in a single day, so the governor’s rule is no solution,” he said, adding that officials had not discussed the issue with the ANP leadership.
