Summary Pakistan has many enemies in the world who are ready to fund any move that destabilizes the country.
ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) Federal Minister for Information and Broadcast Senator Pervaiz Rasheed has said that Imran Khan should raise funds for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) instead of rallies and sit-ins. He remarked that instead of bringing ‘Tsunamis’, ‘storms’ and other forms of calamities, Imran Khan needs to focus on stability of Pakistan.
The senior member of Pakistan Muslim League (N) displayed concern over Imran Khan’s timing and said that he could very well be playing in the hands of Pakistan’s enemies, unknowingly. He said that there are several entities in the world that are ready to fund any movement that destabilizes Pakistan.
Pervaiz Rasheed also criticized Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) s misplaced priorities. He said that at a time when Pakistan was going through one of the biggest crises in its history, Imran Khan is raising funds for rallies. He advised the PTI leadership to do something for IDPs and other welfare organizations at this critical juncture.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan is currently in England where he will be raising funds through a charity feast. The fundraising events will be arranged by his party supporters. These funds will be utilized for his party (PTI), Namal College and Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital. PTI leaders Dr. Arif Alvi and Ali Zaidi will accompany him during his campaign.
Pervaiz Rasheed remarked that Imran Khan was following Tahirul Qadri s footsteps by utilizing funds given in the name of charity for political gains.
He warned Imran Khan of the entities that are looking to destabilize the democratic process in Pakistan. He said that these entities can spend any amount of money for realizing their objectives and Imran Khan might very well be playing their game without even knowing the consequences of his actions.
PML-N leaders have been criticizing PTI s Long March ever since it was announced on June 27 by Imran Khan during his speech in Bahawalpur. The ruling party has termed it as an attempt to destabilize the democratic system in the country. While PTI says that the Long March is for strengthening the democratic system in the country, PML-N leaders have repeatedly expressed their concerns about the objectives of the Long March.
The ruling party has invited PTI leadership for a dialogue at various occasions and has also constituted a committee for electoral reforms in the National Assembly. Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the largest opposition party in the Parliament, has also called for electoral reforms and has advised PTI leadership to raise their voices in the Parliament but so far PTI has stood firm on its stance.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has called a meeting of party s core committee on July 15 to review the political situation in the country. The party will also review government s invitation to Imran Khan for joining the Independence Day Celebrations.
