PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said that Chairman Imran Khan is coming to Islamabad on Sunday and would chair an important session of the PTI core committee.
Fawad said said that the interior minister claimed that he would not let Imran Khan travel from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to other provinces. He urged the supreme court to notice of the minister’s threats
He said the government did not follow Supreme Court’s orders when PTI marched toward Islamabad.
The PTI leader said that they are not a militant party like the Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam (JUI-F) but party of middle-class people. The consequences would be grave if the country’s biggest federal party is pushed to the wall, he added.
Fawad added that the ‘Charter of Economy’ is an idiotic concept and different parties can not form a consensus on a single economic policy. He said the establishment would be criticised until it meddles with political matters of the country.
