PPP slams threats hurled by PML-N's Ataullah Tarar

Slamming PML-N candidate from a Lahore constituency Ataullah Tarar for hurling threats at her party’s voters, PPP Senator Palwasha Khan on Monday asked the PML-N to make its stance clear on its leader’s aggressive language, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, she appealed to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of the PML-N leader’s language.

She said the reason why Tarar had resorted to such tactics was because he knew fully well that he would taste defeat in the elections.  

She claimed that the PML-N had the habit of purchasing votes.  

“Do you think that you can browbeat the PPP by hurling threats?” Palwasha asked the PML-N candidate.

It appeared, she went on to say, as if Tarar had watched an Indian movie. “The language he is using is not expected from a civilized man,” she added.

The PPP senator said that Tarar should be mindful of the fact that the people hold the PML-N accountable in the elections.

She asked Tarar how on earth he asked PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to leave Lahore. “Let me remind you that even in the past, the PPP faced political heavyweights in Lahore.”

Palwasha claimed that even the PML-N voters were not happy with the party’s decision to award ticket to Tarar for the elections. “The bloodbath committed by the PML-N government in Model Town in 2014 is not hidden from anyone,” the PPP senator said.

On the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day, Palwasha renewed her party’s resolve to support the Kashmiri brethren.
