Former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari said on Tuesday that now it was time to purge the Prime Minister House of what he called this \u2018impure\u2019 Imran Khan.<\/p>\n
Addressing the PPP workers, part of the party\u2019s long march, at Rawat before departing for Islamabad, he said it would be better to replace Imran with \u2018Sharif\u2019. He went on to say that he knew his foes and friends fully well.<\/p>\n
Former president vowed to make the no-trust motion submitted against the prime minister today (Tuesday) successful. \u201cAnd if we do that, we will be able to rid the nation of price hike and other issues,\u201d he expressed optimism. <\/p>\n
In a spectacle not often seen in the country, there is a sea of people getting desperate to reach Islamabad\u2019s Red Zone as Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) workers, whose long march towards the federal capital from Karachi, which today (Tuesday, March 8, 2022) entered its 10th day, is closing in on from the south while the caravans of the Awami National Party (ANP) and PPP\u2019s Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) chapter are descending on the federal capital from the north. <\/p>\n
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is leading the marchers, is scheduled to deliver his first speech today at Sohan Interchange from where he and the party activists (Jiyalas) will head to Islamabad\u2019s D-Chowk in front of the Parliament House where they plan to stay unless the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government is sent home.<\/p>\n
Before leaving for Sohan, the PPP workers had a heavy breakfast at Rawat where they spent the night. On the other hand, ANP is in no mood to lag behind as its workers, too, have set out on a long march towards Islamabad from Peshawar.<\/p>\n
Party\u2019s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) President Aimal Wali Khan is leading them. The ANP workers plan to join the PPP\u2019s sit-in outside the Parliament House. <\/p>\n
Reacting to the road blockades set up by the government, ANP Secretary General Mian Iftikhar Hussain has said that the party\u2019s march on Islamabad against inflation will not stop until and unless it reaches D-Chowk. \u201cThe right to protest is every citizen\u2019s right and is enshrined in the constitution,\u201d he has said, adding that the very fact that the \u2018selected\u2019 government has started creating obstacles in the way of marchers goes on to show that it has \u2018panicked\u2019.<\/p>\n
He has further said that \u2018selected\u2019 Prime Minister Imran Khan should remember it that it was he and the workers of his party who had remained camped at D-Chowk for 126 days. \u201cHow can a person deny the same right to others?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
He has stated categorically that no power on earth could stop the ANP from marching towards the federal capital. \u201cOur target is Imran Khan. Today, the entire Pakistan is protesting against an \u2018incompetent\u2019 government, led by PM Imran Khan,\u201d he has claimed. <\/p>\n
Mian Iftikhar has reiterated that it has always been ANP\u2019s stance that the present government had sneaked into power through rigging in the elections, and it is only by holding free and transparent elections that Pakistan could find a way out of the present mess. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, despite the fact that the government has placed containers on the roads leading to the D-Chowk in Islamabad\u2019s Red Zone, people have already started infiltrating there, although in small numbers. On the other hand, heavy contingents of police have also taken their positions at the protest site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
