Man who paralysed capital for four months cannot handle small protest: Maryam

Maryam calls treatment of PPP workers 'torture'

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday took a jibe at Prime Minister Imran Khan and said the "man who paralysed the federal capital for four months cannot tolerate a small protest".

She also claimed the premier is 'afraid' of protests and termed the treatment of Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) workers as 'torture'.

پارلیمنٹ ، وزیراعظم ھاوس اور پی ٹی وی پر حملہ کرکے دارالحکومت کو چار ماہ تک مفلوج رکھنے والا دھرنا گرد
ایک دن کے لیئے چھوٹا سا احتجاج برداشت نہیں کر سکا کیونکہ ڈرتا ہے نا، چور دروازے سے آیا ہے! 10 ماہ میں یہ حال ہو گیا ووٹ چوروں کا!
PPP کے سیاسی کارکنوں پر تشدد قابل مزمت ہے ۔

Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) barred political workers from entering the federal capital and directed the provincial home secretaries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab to instruct their police personnel to stop PPP workers from leaving their respective provinces.



Islamabad administration heightened security around the red zone to prevent Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) workers from accompanying Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to the NAB office. The Islamabad police used water cannons to disperse party workers at bay. Reportedly, several workers have been arrested after they clashed with the police.
