ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry on Monday reacted to the charter of economy proposed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying that his party has rejected this proposal.
Addressing the media, the former federal minister said that the entire party condemns the torture of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill. He alleged that efforts are being made to kidnap and shift him to PIMS. Lashing out at Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, Fawad said that he has established a tradition of torturing children and women.
Shireen Mazari has been given instructions by former prime minister and PTI Chairman, according to Fawad, to bring up this issue in international fora. On Thursday, he remarked, the entire world would observe National Press Day. The PTI leadership, according to Fawad, would march in support of press freedom. The PTI leader noted that Imran Khan would also address the Bar Association. He claims that the PML-N is using its tried-and-true techniques to split the judiciary.
The PTI leader said that campaigning for the early elections will be carried out with full vigor. He said that it is useless to talk to Shahbaz Sharif on the charter of economy. Supporting Shahbaz Sharif’s economic policies is a sign of ignorance, he said. The former federal minister said PTI would be ready to talk only on the structure of elections, but nothing else would be discussed.
Fawad questioned the secrecy of JUI-foreign F’s sponsorship. He asserted that the PTI leadership lacks faith in the Pakistan Election Commission (ECP). Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif were urged by Fawad to return the stolen funds, but Zardari suggested that he first try to salvage the Sindh government before turning his attention to Punjab.
