Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National Heritage, and Culture, Attaullah Tarar, stated on Wednesday that all the bold claims and plans of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had been shattered following their failed protest.<\/p>\n
In a late night press conference, the minister described the protest as a \u2018colossal failure,\u2019 emphasizing that it had become the inevitable fate of the PTI. He took a jibe at PTI\u2019s founder\u2019s so-called \u201cfinal call,\u201d dismissing it as nothing more than \u201ca missed call.\u201d He further pointed out that those who had gathered to secure the release of their leader fled when many of their workers were arrested. Tarar remarked that both Ali Amin Gandapur and Bushra Bibi had abandoned their supporters and ran away when the arrests began.<\/p>\n
Tarar also recounted how he personally traveled from D-Chowk to Eleventh Avenue, where he witnessed scenes of chaos and disorder caused by PTI protesters. He described how the protesters fled, leaving behind their shoes and clothes.<\/p>\n
The minister added that there was evidence to suggest that PTI had planned to storm Parliament by breaching the Red Zone. Referring to the party\u2019s leadership, Tarar remarked, \u201cGandapur has fled for the second time,\u201d underlining the disarray among the party\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n
He also contrasted PTI\u2019s recent actions with their earlier protests, recalling the 126-day sit-in, during which the party enjoyed the backing of certain influential powers.<\/p>\n
Tarar criticized PTI\u2019s rush to act, noting that even their vehicles were involved in collisions due to their haste. \u201cThey were in such a hurry that they crashed their own cars,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n
The minister emphasized that while the government sought to avoid violence, it was necessary to deal sternly with miscreants. Reflecting on PTI\u2019s past, he reminded the public that the party had previously fled from Pakpattan and was now retreating from Islamabad. He warned that PTI would not attempt such actions again, adding, \u201cAfter the 26th Amendment and the damage caused in Parliament, they will not dare to try this again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tarar also suggested that PTI had a hidden agenda behind the protests, claiming, \u201cTheir plan was to sabotage the visit of the President of Belarus and cause damage.\u201d He highlighted what he described as crucial evidence that was destroyed when a container was set on fire. \u201cWhat were those pieces of evidence that were burned by setting the container on fire?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
The minister confirmed that efforts were underway to clear the roads and restore order, but made it clear that there would be no concessions for the PTI leadership. \u201cThere is no deal, no concession. We saw cowardice here,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The minister also criticized the disparity in lifestyles, pointing out that while Imran Khan\u2019s and Bushra Bibi\u2019s children enjoyed luxurious lives, the children of the poor were being manipulated to damage public property. He strongly condemned PTI activists\u2019 attacks on media houses, assuring that those responsible would be held accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
