ISLAMABAD: A couple of days after Khawaja Asif’s allegations that the religious seminaries funded by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government plan to provide what he said foot soldiers for Imran Khan’s protest march, the ruling party leader Daniyal Aziz on Friday went on to claim that the PTI chairman has asked Jihadi outfits to send their members to his November 2 march in the federal capital.
Addressing a press conference, he claimed that during a consultative meeting of Jihadi groups Imran Khan made a telephone call asking each group to send 500 armed men to the protest.
“I will ask Imran Khan Sahib to clarify this,” he said. The PMLN leader once again accused the PTI chief of investing donations of his cancer hospital in offshore companies.
The PML-N lawmakers and seniors cabinet members have intensified attacks on Imran Khan ahead of his planned march in Islamabad, which he plans to launch in an effort to push the government to ensure accountability of the ruling family.
Speaking at the press conference State Minister for Capital Administration and Development Division Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said the call for agitation by Imran Khan would end up in embarrassment and prove to be the final nail in the coffin.
Speaking at a press conference here, he said, “Imran Khan is desperate, so is adopting different tactics.”
The minister said industrialists, merchants, traders and private school owners of Islamabad had expressed concern over the call of Imran Khan to close down the capital.
"All these people agreed that when a matter was in Supreme Court, then there was no reason for agitation," he said adding traders were also worried about their businesses and teachers about opening of schools.
Tariq Fazal said the government was aware of concerns of the citizens about call for lock-down of Islamabad.
“We are taking steps under the supervision of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to manage the situation in Islamabad and we will protect the rights of citizens.”
