Govt decides to move court over statement of PM’s arrest in Azadi March

ISLAMABAD, Nov 02 (DNA): Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak, head of
government’s negotiation committee, on Saturday announced to move court
over the statements made by opposition leaders in Azadi March sit in to
arrest Prime Minister Imran Khan.

While addressing media in Islamabad alongside senior leaders Asad Umar,
Shafqat Mehmood and Firdous Ashiq Awan after PTI core committee meeting,
he said PM’s resignation is out of question and national institutes have
to come forward when instability prevails in the country. He said
opposition would not succeed in its propaganda.

He said the government and PTI Core Committee were “saddened” by the
speeches given by opposition leaders on Friday. Khattak said they hoped
the JUI-F-led protesters will stick to the agreement they had reached
with the government and will not violate its provisions.

“There will be no talk of the prime minister resigning,” he said. “No
one should even consider it.”

The defence minister said that his team was in contact with the Rahbar
Committee. Reacting to yesterday s statements by the JUI-F chief and
other opposition leaders, Khattak said that he was disappointed at the
speeches.

Khattak lashed out at the opposition parties, stating that they weren t
sticking to their claims.
“They re using threatening language. When these opposition parties do
that, it means that they won t back up their claims,” he said.

Khattak hoped that the protesters would not breach the agreement between
the Rahbar Committee and the Islamabad administration.

“If they violate the agreement, then the administration will take
action,” he said. “Make no mistake about it–if anything unfortunate
happens, these people will be held responsible,” he said.

Khattak further said these people fear if PTI government completed its
term, their politics would end. He said opposition leaders criticized
institutions more than government and received the response from
institutions, adding that these institutions have made huge sacrifices
for the peace in the country. DNA
