PM to inform nation about decisions soon, Aurangzeb says.
\n ISLAMABAD
\nInformation Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said Saturday that the newly-elected Shehbaz Sharif-led government would complete its tenure in line with the Constitution.
\nThe statement comes after PML-N\u2019s senior leadership held a huddle in London \u2014 the details of which are expected to be released soon \u2014 as speculations are being over the government\u2019s tenure.
\nA split in the ruling party was also seen as PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had stressed on early elections, in light of the troubles that Pakistan faces on the economic front.
\nImran Khan, the chairman of the country\u2019s biggest Opposition party, PTI, has also called for snap elections as he has refused to accept the new government and vowed to march to Islamabad after May 20.
\nIn today\u2019s press conference, the information minister confirmed that there were speculations regarding the PML-N\u2019s visit to London and that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would soon lay out the details to the nation.
\nAurangzeb, saying that the visit was of a private nature, informed journalists at the press talk that during the London huddle, detailed deliberations were held on the rising inflation.
\nPTI\u2019s Sialkot jalsa
\nOn the Sialkot jalsa of Imran Khan, the information minister said no one has prohibited PTI from holding rallies in the country and stressed that the government was \u201cnot afraid\u201d of Khan\u2019s hard-hitting speeches.
\n\u201cYour hate-mongering speeches will benefit us,\u201d Aurangzeb said.
\nThe PML-N leader said the PTI and government had no issues over the venue after the party was informed of an alternate place.
\nThe PTI earlier in the day changed the venue of its public gathering from CTI ground \u2014 a property of the Christian community \u2014 to VIP Ground in Sialkot after the community lodged a protest as the party had not taken prior permission from them for the rally.
\n\u201cIt was the government\u2019s duty to give due to right to the Christian community,\u201d said Aurangzeb. In response to Khan\u2019s message that he would be coming to Sialkot, Aurangzeb said: \u201cDo come, who is stopping you? Nobody is afraid of you, the people have seen your real face.\u201d
\nNo \u2018bloody march\u2019
\nThe information minister also noted that the Opposition was targeting the government leadership and warning of a \u201cbloody march\u201d during their press conferences and rallies. \u201cIf Imran Khan calls for a bloody march, then it is [Interior Minister] Rana Sanaullah\u2019s responsibility to ensure the public\u2019s safety,\u201d Aurangzeb stressed. \u201cNobody has the right to hold a bloody march.\u201d
\nGiving a message to the people going to PTI\u2019s rallies, Aurangzeb told them that Khan \u201clies\u201d and that they should refrain from attending the party\u2019s rallies.
\n\u201cImran Khan is incompetent, he made false promises of jobs to the youth,\u201d she said, adding that the PTI chairman had damaged the country\u2019s tradition of decency.
\nThe information minister also slammed Khan for \u201cusing government resources \u2014 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government\u2019s helicopter \u2014 for his jalsas\u201d and blaming the incumbent government for corruption.
\nAurangzeb said the current condition of the economy was not due to the present government as the falter began during Khan\u2019s tenure. \u201cHe gave illegal subsidies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
