Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz Sunday said the sole agenda of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is to skip the accountability process.
Addressing a press conference, he said that the PDM leadership has no interests in the country as they have already shifted their families and properties abroad. However, the minister vowed that the government would not spare those who plundered the national wealth and that they would be made accountable. He said the government is committed to put the country on path of economic progress and prosperity.
Shibli Faraz termed the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) the ‘third piece of the axis of evil’ with the other two being India and Israel. He said a convicted person (Nawaz Shairf) attacked the army besides using foil language in the PDM gathering. There is no difference between the agenda of PDM and our enemies, he said.
Criticizing the PDM, the minister said Owais Noorani had used the PDM platform for promoting the enemy’s narrative to liberate Balochisan. “We will liberate the people, the country and Balochistan from such those plunderers who looted the national exchequers,” he said. The government would certainly seek explanation from Owais Noorani for his anti-state diatribe and then would take action, he said.
Shibli said Pakistan has huge potential and the PTI government will bring progress and prosperity to the country. “The Pakistani people are fully aware and politically mature and no one can deceive them,” he said. The minister said we were going in right direction and would ensure full support to strengthen the state institutions. Imran Khan was a visionary leader having a sound character and he would purge the country from the corrupt and selfish gangs, he added.
The minister said Maryam Safdar had no moral justification to ask questions from the nation. She should answer only the two questions that how they made their assets and how they laundered money abroad, the minister questioned. He said the PML-N government gave preference to their blue-eyed on merit which resulted brain drain of talent people from the country.
Coming hard on Bilawal Bhutto, the minister said that he should ask question from his father (Zardari) who had deprived the people from ‘Roti, Kapra and Makan’, a famous slogan of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. PPP was a national level political party but due corrupted practice of its leadership, it has become a regional party and would likely to further reduce to just two districts, he added.
Separately, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar while reacting on the PDM’s Quetta meeting said that opposition parties have staged a hullabaloo in the garb of ‘giving respect to vote’. In a statement, he said that a nefarious conspiracy is being hatched to weaken Pakistan by making the national institutions controversial. “These institutions are our pride and people of Pakistan will foil every such efforts. The nation is proud of the Pakistan Army,” he maintained.
“The PTI is firmly standing with the institutions. Those who are targeting the institutions will not succeed in their nefarious designs. Those who are levelling allegations should first look into their own pockets,” Buzdar said, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan gave identity to southern Punjab but PML-N and PPP only usurped the rights of people of the region.
