Shehbaz govt to ban PTI: information minister

Islamabad: The federal government of Pakistan Monday decided to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said that on May 9, the country's defense was attacked, the politics of chaos and violence was promoted. If the country has to develop, then Pakistan and PTI cannot go together. The decision to ban PTI may come forward in the upcoming meeting of the federal cabinet.

Atta Tarar stated that the government has decided to file an Article-VI case against former president Arif Alvi, PTI founder Imran Khan and former deputy speaker Qasim Suri. After the approval of the federal cabinet against these three persons, this reference will be sent to the Supreme Court.

He added that there is an impression that no one can lay a hand on them, our patience and tolerance has been considered as our weakness, we have been given political training to respect political opponents.

The federal minister continued to say: “Nawaz Sharif returned home leaving his wife on her deathbed. The founder PTI was a fascist ruler and mothers and sisters were arrested under his rule. Shehbaz Sharif had said during the PTI era that they are ready for economic agreement”.

A review appeal will be filed against the decision of the Supreme Court. The decision of the review belongs to the government and its allies. There are legal flaws in the decision, due to which it has been decided to file a review, stated Tarar.

Atta Tarar further said that foreign funding is with you, the Jewish lobby supports you, and a cipher game has been played in the country.
