Propaganda against copter crash ‘disgusting’

Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) Founder Senator Saeed Ahmed Hashmi has condemned PTI leader Shahbaz Gill’s statement against state institutions, saying that weakening of institutions that are responsible for the security of geographical and ideological frontiers can cause irreparable damage.

In a statement issued here on Thursday, Senator Hashmi said that blatant false propaganda against the martyrs of the helicopter crash is disgusting and needed to be stopped soon.

He said that during its four-year rule PTI leadership’s power-hungry and anti-state behavior has accomplished those tasks of internal and external enemies of Pakistan which they were trying to achieve for the past 75 years.

He said that instead of fulfilling the pledge of making the Riasat-e-Madina, the PTI has become a part of fifth generation war against Pakistan through their social media trolls.

He said they are dividing the nation with propaganda based on lies

He lamented that the PTI has succeeded in their nefarious aim of maligning the patriotic thinking of the majority of the youth who love and respect state institutions, he added.

The senior politician termed acts of PTI dangerous attempt to paralyze future youth leadership and weaken the country both internally and externally.

Hashmi added that in order to eradicate such heinous and negative thinking and for the security and survival of Pakistan, all political parties, civil society and intellectual class will have to overcome all their differences and promote unanimous and positive thinking.
