ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday took PTI’s dissident MNAs to the task, saying those who stabbed the prime minister in back would face “exemplary” humiliation at the public’s hands.
“I dare those who hide in Islamabad to go to their constituencies… you will be beaten by hundred of shoes in every one minute,” he said while addressing a charged crowd at the Parade Ground where a large number of people gathered for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) historic public meeting.
He said a huge crowd of people at the Parade Ground showed that the entire nation stood by Prime Minister Imran Khan who did not care about the power. He added that ousting the prime minister from the power would affect the masses as he was not only striving for the welfare of masses but also the entire Muslim Ummah.
He said the PTI only wanted to remain in public which brought the party into the government. It had no interest in the power, the minister added. He said those who wanted to oust the prime minister would have to go through the people who stood behind him like a rock.
