Lahore: Awami Muslim League Pakistan chairman Sheikh Rashed Ahmed was designated as Home Minister to deal with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

Senior journalist Imran Yaqub Khan in GNN programme ‘View Point’ said that as the date of long march is approaching, Interior Minister is intentionally choosing harsh words which give projection that PDM would be dealt with strict hands.

While, Senior analyst Zafar Hialy said that the protest of government employees had nothing to do with the upcoming opposition march but government officials were manhandled and administration should be cautious while dealing with the officers. This recent episode is a direct call to PDM that they would be handled with the same manner, he added.
