MULTAN: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar claimed on Saturday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) 78 day long sit-in in Islamabad will eventually end through negotiations, just as Pakistan Awami Tehreek’s did.

“We continued bilateral talks with Qadri which eventually resulted in peaceful diffusion of protesters from Islamabad and we expect same from the PTI sit-in,” Sarwar said while speaking to media representatives in Sahiwal.

He was hopeful that PTI will also negotiate with the government.

Admitting that protesting is the right of the every citizen of Pakistan, he upheld that they should be held in a constitutional manner. He also added that the protest were ill-timed and are worsening the problems of citizens.

“Protests are diverting the attention of the government from the basic problems of health and education the political parties should understand this,” the Punjab governor said.

@Humza: everyone seems to decipher the televised events differently, the footage does not display actors, being shot at by police, and its a figment of the population of Pakistan , that sees Gullu leading the charge,defenceless pregnant woman being shot head on, besides life is pretty much worthless in The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as that of Wagah's blast victims unless of course one happens to be somewhat related to an ex PM and such like elites and their walahs.

@Justice Miscarried: I do not think that the regime is making any profits for the nation whatsoever.
