Summary Direct your suggestions to federal government and not to Bilawal, Sharjeel Memon responded.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) Member National Assembly (MNA) Hamza Shahbaz Sharif said on Friday that Bilawal should think and make considerations before issuing statements adding that political point scoring over terrorism and Tharparkar drought is counterproductive, Dunya News reported.
Hamza Shahbaz said that he is prayerful for Bilawal’s safety and long life, reiterating that Bilawal should not indulge in politics over the matters of national security.
He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could also have done political point scoring on the matter of Tharparkar deaths but he chose to go and console with the people of Thar by himself. He said that people of Thar are starving to death and that Bilawal Bhutto should also go to Thar to console and show solidarity to the locals.
Reacting to Hamza Shahbaz’s statements, Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said that it is better if Hamza Shahbaz makes suggestions to federal government, and not to Bilawal, and convince them not to bow before terrorists.
Reiterating that he should keep his suggestions to himself, Memon said instead of making childish statements, Hamza Shahbaz should listen to the families affected by terrorism.
He said people of Pakistan have serious reservations over government and Taliban’s reconciliation policy, adding that federal government is insulting Pakistan’s constitution by negotiating with terrorists.
Memon said Punjab government should stop sheltering terrorists, claiming that federal government deems no difference among an ordinary Pakistani, Taliban and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).
He said that 2 different standards of laws were made while violating the constitution.
Meanwhile, National Assembly’s opposition leader Khurshid Shah said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) bore sizeable loss in the past and that party cannot afford more risks.
He said that Punjab government should inform about the investigations over threats received by Bilawal. Shah also wrote a letter to Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Shahbaz Sharif reiterating a complete investigation should be carried out over the matter of death threats received by Bilawal.
He said that PPP is taking the matter rather very seriously, adding that he hopes Punjab government will complete the investigation soon and inform about the results.
