PESHAWAR:
Pakistan Muslim League –Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif criticised Dr Tahirul Qadri's long march, and has reiterated that elections will not be postponed under any circumstances.
Nawaz Sharif who came to Peshawar for a brief visit on Friday to condole with the family of Bashir Ahmed Bilour, said Sheikhul Islam wanted to adopt a way of 'chaos'.
"Who gave him the right to utilise the money collected through donations for his political benefits?" he asked, adding that the self-proclaimed Sheikhul Islam was urging the poor to sell their motorbikes to pay for his long march.
The PML-N chief said that he would not allow a few men to usurp the rights of 18 million people.
Answering a question, Sharif said he could not understand the philosophy of the coalition partners of the incumbent government, who are taking part in Qadri’s long march. He questioned whether the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) would march against its own ministers.
"MQM is sitting in cabinet in Islamabad but they are also part of long march?"
