MULTAN: By organising a successful rally in Quetta, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has proven that it can address all issues faced by the province, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi claimed on Monday.

Speaking to media at Multan airport, Qureshi said problems like terrorism, ethnic violence and identity crisis can only be solved through rationalism and sincere efforts.

“The environment of fear came to a halt in Quetta and I feel proud that it had happened due to PTI,” a beaming Qureshi said.

The PTI vice chairman added that the people of Pakistan have shown trust in PTI’s leadership because of its sincerity towards the country.

Claiming that the government is planning to delay the general elections, the PTI Vice Chairman said the government has lost its credibility and has no reason to postpone the elections.

“The government must realise that they cannot improve their corrupt image with the money they have accumulated through corruption,” Qureshi stated, adding that if elections are delayed, his party will protest across the country, along with civil society members.

Talking about creation of a Seraiki province, the PTI Vice Chairman said that the government is just using the issue as a political ploy. “They don’t even have enough funds to accommodate a new province,” he mocked.

“People should not be fed with sham statements. They [government] are never going to create new provinces because the introduction of the 18th amendment has made the issue very complicated,” he added.

Responding to the issue of reopening Nato supply routes, Qureshi said the routes were closed for a reason and if the government decides to reopen them, they should provide a good reason for taking this decision.

Commenting on relations between India and Pakistan, Qureshi said that both the countries should work together on the basis of equality.
