ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday that every legal means would be used to stop the PTI’s ‘bloody’ long march and to protect people in Islamabad.
Speaking to the media soon after Imran Khan announced to start of the long march on 25 May, she said that said the government would hold discussions with the coalition partners on how to deal with the long march.
She did not rule out the possibility of the army’s deployment and said a final decision would be made after consultation.
The information minister said that PTI should forget that it would be allowed to take out a ‘bloody’ march.
Aurangzeb said that the PTI was planning to launch a ‘bloodied’ movement and that the government would protect the citizens as Imran Khan was planning to spread anarchy in the country.
She said the elections will happen only when the government wants it as it possesses the constitutional right to do so.
She said the ‘bloody’ march is not an expression neither it is a democratic right nor a protest. The minister said that it is a mob that is coming to Islamabad for hooliganism and causing unrest.
She questioned, “Why didn’t Imran Khan dissolve the assembly when he was the prime minister?” Aurangzeb said that Imran Khan talks filth against the institutions and labeled him an ‘undemocratic’ person.
