Addressing the public gathering, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chief Bilawal Bhutto said that the country was suffering because of the “fake, incompetent and illegitimate government”.
He went on to add, “Stop making phone calls, stop trying to establish contacts. We will reach Islamabad and chase your puppet out. Once he is gone, then there can be dialogue.”
Maulana Fazl vows to put an end to the ‘fake’ government
Addressing the gathering, the JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazl said: “The wounds inflicted by the rigging done by the establishment for this illegal government, the dirty role they played [to sieze] this illegal power is getting deeper.”
Fazl further said that he wanted to “alert and caution the defence forces and their leadership […] to move out of the people’s way and let them reach Islamabad”.
Maryam Nawaz criticises PM Imran for his incompetence
Addressing the public, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz targeted Prime Minister Imran Khan and said that when he doesn’t have any answer regarding his incompetence, he in return terms Nawaz Sharif ‘a corrupt or a traitor’.
She further criticized the incumbent government saying that we haven’t seen any better performance from the government, but there is a heap of scandals we can witness, adding that the public will hold Imran Khan accountable for every difficulty.
‘Tabedaar Khan’ used to say that he won’t take loans for the betterment of people, but Imran Khan has set new records for loans, added Maryam Nawaz.
Nawaz Sharif says my narrative is same as Quaid-E-Azam’s
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif also addressed the crowd via video link and asked who was answerable for the government’s failings.
“He says I won’t give an NRO. Who is asking you for an NRO? You and Aleema Khan got an NRO from Saqib Nisar yourself,” said Nawaz.
“They say, don’t take names? Tell me, what should we do? Is Imran Khan alone responsible for the predicament the country is in?”
Nawaz said that his “crime is that I speak the truth” and added that he was fighting for the people. He said that his “narrative” was the same as Quaid-e-Azam’s.
“Stop political engineering factories in agencies,” said the former prime minister.
