Flop public shows cannot oust govt, asserts minister

BAP leaders says if the opposition attempts to destabilise the country, govt has a right to take action

QUETTA: Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce and central leader of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) Haji Muhammad Khan Utmankhail said Sunday that people have rejected religious and nationalist parties in the last general elections, calling Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl’s  (JUI-F)  ‘Azadi march’ a flopped public show.

“Instead of facing the public after their defeat in the last elections, religious and nationalist parties have gathered in Islamabad demanding Prime Minister Imran Khan’s resignation but no one can oust an elected regime through such acts,” said Utmankhail while talking to journalists in Loralai district.

“If the opposition parties would attempt to destabilise the country, indeed the government has a right to take action against miscreants spoiling peace in the name of Azadi march,” he added.
