LAHORE - Zaeem Qadri yesterday called the PTI Raiwind rally a circus containing nothing but a ‘bear dance of Sheikh Rashid’, who in turn termed the Punjab government spokesman a ‘Siasi Merasi (political joker)’.
Talking to the media, Zaeem Qadri said Imran Khan should take pity on the nation as he had endangered the life of a huge number of people by holding a ‘circuis’ since a terror alert was issued.
He said Imran Khan’s demo was ‘purported’ to divert attention from the activity of the Indian forces on the Line of Control (LoC).
“Imran Khan is running his ‘political film’ gathering a few hundreds people, he added.
He claimed PTI march cost Rs 10 billion a day to national economy. Imran should look after his government in KP where 28 cases have been reported by NAB only against the CM of his party, he said adding, Khan is busy splitting the nation and creating chaos when unity was the dire need.
The PTI protest, he said, targets CPEC like projects and scare away foreign investment in the country. The spokesman said millions of rupees have been spent on the security of PTI march.
In response to Qadri remarks, AML head Sheikh Rashid Ahmad termed Qadri Siasi Merasi, saying he (Qadri) is passing derogatory remarks only to save his service but he and the PTI will not stay quiet against the large scale corruption of the PML-N leaders and their government.
