Reaction to Lahore rally: Govt will complete its term, says Rashid
Minister says Imran has realized elections will be in 2018
ISLAMABAD:
Information Minister Senator Pervaiz Rashid has said that people elect a government through ballots, not through sit-ins.
In a statement, he said it seemed that PTI chairman Imran Khan has realised that elections would be held in 2018 and accordingly he had started canvassing for it. The democratic government will complete its tenure as people have given it a mandate to rule for five years.
Separately talking to the media, he said no one should unconstitutionally demand resignation of the elected prime minister on the basis of a few thousand people.
He said the PML-N leadership never asked its workers to use indecent language against others, while Imran was himself was delivering provocative speeches and inciting people to use abusive language. “He even encouraged his party workers to attack the Parliament and PTV,” he added.
He said the PML-N had a large number of workers in Lahore which was also home of all political parties. The party has not taught its workers to be discourteous and to show disregard to other democratic forces, he added.
