ISLAMABAD, Feb 04 (DNA): Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb
has taken a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan over
his announcement to launch a Jail Bharo Tehreek.
The leadership is the first to go jail on the launch of a Jail Bharo
Tehreek, she said while addressing a press conference after the former
prime minister asked his party leaders and worker to brace for Jail
Bharo Tehreek.
Flanked by Faisal Karim Kundi, she said Imran Khan is hiding in the
house and asking his workers to bear a tough time. Imran Khan should
face courts instead of making such announcements, the federal
information minister said, adding that how can a person launch such a
moment who broke into tears after spending just two days in jail?
She said the leaders including e-president Asif Ali Zardari, for
bereaving confinement for the cause and stand firm against political
persecution. She blamed terrorism resurgence on the PTI, saying Khan the
former ruling party supported terrorists in KP. She said the PML-N
government got rid of terrorism but the PTI government granted pardons
to the hardcore criminals and let the terrorists reorganize.
She asked Imran Khan to face the trials instead of hiding behind the
women and children. She appealed to the PTI supporters to shun backing
Imran Khan as they were being used and made scapegoats.
