PML-N strikes back: Qadri wants to wreak chaos says Mashhood
He was more worried about his own safety while sitting in the plane,” the minister said.
LAHORE:
Law Minister Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan on Monday said the nation had realised that power and chaos were Tahirul Qadri’s only objectives. He said this while talking to the journalists in front of the Punjab Assembly.
Mashhood said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had put the country back on the road to progress and prosperity within a year. “Political rivals want to derail the process of development,” he said. “The nation has seen Qadri’s real face on his return to the country.”
“As a citizen of a foreign country, Qadri cannot demand security from the Pakistan Army,” he said. The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader did not show any regard about the security of party activists standing on roads. “He was more worried about his own safety while sitting in the plane,” the minister said.
He said that the Punjab government had made security arrangements for the protection of innocent people in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Lahore. “The way PAT workers damaged public property in Rawalpindi and tried to take over Benazir Airport had created security threats. That is why the Emirates plane had to be diverted to Lahore Airport,” he said.
