Ahead of ex-PM Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) mega rally in Islamabad, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Saturday warned that the government won’t allow an anarchy-like situation to persist in the country.
This comes in the wake of the Mianwali rally, where PTI Chairman Imran Khan said that the public rally of millions of nationals could not be stopped by anyone, including the ‘murderer of 18 people’ Rana Sanaullah or PM Shehbaz Sharif.
The Interior Minister slammed the ex-PM for inciting and misleading the public against the ruling government. Addressing the media outside the Lahore sessions court, Sanaullah said, “They will have to give [the government] assurances that the march will be peaceful, political, and democratic.”
His remarks came as he attended a hearing of a drug case filed against him by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), reported Dawn.
“Even yesterday, he told his supporters not to spare anyone. I am warning you for the last time, not as a minister, but as the president of PML-N Punjab. If you don’t let go of these tactics and keep encouraging your supporters to disrespect members of other parties, you will face the same fate too. You won’t be able to escape from it,” he said.
