LAHORE: Former Energy Minister and PTI leader Hammad Azhar Saturday issued ‘final warning’ to the PML-N government, saying that the PML-N government has committed cowardly attack on PTI workers in Sialkot which would not be forgiven.
In a statement, Hammad Azhar said that the PTI is issuing a final warning to the
government to refrain from such activities or they will be responsible for
the consequences.
He claimed that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz held political gatherings on the same ground in Sialkot but they are giving it a religious colour when the PTI wanted
to do the same.
He said that it’s a ground reality that state institutions interfere in political matters, denying which would be lying to the masses.
“Our Allied parties always waited for a ‘signal’ to decide upon anything,” he said and added that it looks like the government is not ready to exit gracefully.
“The people of Sialkot would give them a fitting reply in tonight’s gathering,” he added.
The PTI leader pointed out that the PML-N leadership is in splits as half of
them wanted early elections while the other don’t.
“The PML-N is afraid that PTI will have a sweeping victory if they call for early elections, while some are worried that their incompetence will be unmasked if they complete the remaining term of the assemblies,” Hammad said.
He warned the government that a tsunami of people will march towards Islamabad at Imran Khan’s call. “Our demand for fresh elections is not beyond the law,” said Hammad Azhar.
Earlier, Punjab police had arrested several PTI workers including MNA Usman Dar ahead of their public gathering in Sialkot.
