Summary Mazari said PTI had exhausted all options including taking to tribunals, courts and parliament
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Shireen Mazari said on Sunday that PTI has resorted to ‘Azaadi march’ after thorough consideration, adding that the party had already exhausted all its options including taking the issue to tribunals, courts and the parliament, Dunya News reported.
In a statement issued from the federal capital, Mazari said that PTI had already exhausted all its options including taking the matter of alleged rigging in elections to the tribunals, courts and even the parliament. She said Khawaja Saad Rafique is champion of words, adding that the ‘rigging minister’ should focus on his work instead of making appeals.
Mazari said that the peaceful protest scheduled for August 14 is being carried out to strengthen the democracy, adding that this march would be against the dynastical and traditional politics.
She said PTI chief Imran Khan went to UK to campaign for donations for Shaukat Khanum Hospital and not for personal business.
Shireen Mazari alleged that Rs 142 million of the youth scheme were spent just for the sake of introducing Maryam Nawaz.
Earlier, Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique appealed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan to change the date and venue of its long march protest scheduled for August 14.
Addressing the media at Lahore press club, he said the government wants to resolve the issues with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri, claiming that Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Sheikh Rasheed come in the way.
Saad Rafique said that Imran Khan should not divide the nation by turning the Independence Day into the day of protest. He said the whole nation should unite under one flag on August 14 to send a message to the nation.
He said the living nations don’t indulge in confrontations like this, adding that Imran Khan should try to solve the issues in parliament, adding that the country is in state of war. He said the time now is not to pull legs of the government.
He urged Imran Khan to change the date, adding that PMLN wants to settle things with Tahirul Qadri as well.
Federal minister said that former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s statement over Pervez Musharraf became the cause of humiliation for his party.
