PTI sit-in will eventually end through talks, just as Qadri's did: Punjab Governor

Chaudhry Sarwar says protests are diverting the govt's attention from basic problems of the people

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.
