Govt fully prepared to deal with PTI’s long march: Marriyum

Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb says the government is fully prepared to deal with the long march of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which is hell bent on spreading violence, chaos and anarchy in the country.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, she said the government assures the citizens that they will be protected from the rioters and anarchists who are planning to storm Islamabad.

The Information Minister said it is the state’s responsibility to protect all the citizens, including traders, entrepreneurs, students and women which shall be fulfilled at all costs.

She said the Federal and Punjab governments have decided that there would be no compromise on the writ of state.

She cited intelligence reports suggesting that people armed with weapons, ammunition and batons would be part of the PTI’s long march, who could not be allowed for ‘bloodshed’ in the Capital.
