Poll rigging allegations: Govt not deterred by PTI’s rally, says Saad

Minister for Railways says rallies cannot weaken the government.

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique on Tuesday said the government was not afraid of the protest rallies announced by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on May 11. Talking to media outside the Parliament House, he said the rallies cannot weaken the government. “Rather it is PTI’s effort to divert the attention of the government and people from the basic problems being confronted by the country,” he added. He said PTI chairman Imran Khan was part of parliament while on the other hand he is levelling allegations against it.
