LAHORE: Federal Minister Saad Rafique has criticized PTI Chairman Imran Khan for launching his ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’ (Court Arrest Movement).
Talking to media here on Wednesday , Saad Rafique said a party’s leader should offer his arrest first, but Imran Khan was securing bails for himself while workers were being asked to give arrests. He said Imran Khan had lost his credibility in public due to his dual stance in all matters.
Referring to Pervez Elahi joining PTI, Saad Rafique said when in need, Imran Khan can do anything.
He said the political governments should be allowed to complete their term and political vendetta must come to an end in the country. He said that he personally opposed arrests of political workers.
Khawaja Saad Rafique claimed that Nawaz Sharif and his family members spent time in jail, and several PML-N workers were sent to jail as well but none of them cried, a direct reference to Fawad Chaudhry who broke into tears when reminded of his children visiting him in jail.
Earlier, in a tweet, Saad Rafique had said non-bailable arrest warrants were issued for Shahid Khaqan Abbasi for just a minor delay while courts waited for Imran Khan for several hours. Courts interference in administrative matters will hamper functioning of the state, he added.
