Ch Shujaat appeals govt, opposition to cancel their public rallies

Former prime minister and PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has appealed both the government and the Opposition to call off their public rallies they planned in Islamabad later this month, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Shujaat Hussain appealed both the sides to immediately cancel their public gatherings in the best interest of the country.

The PML-Q president argued that the prevailing political and economic situation in the country could not bear this dangerous confrontation.

The former prime minister opined that the inflation-stricken public were worried about the government and opposition’s rallies, and the politics of numbers.

Shujaat maintained “The Opposition does politics of public rallies but it’s surprising to see that the government is also resorting to match opposition’s public gatherings which is not its cup of tea.”

He said this political hostility could lead to such political chaos and crisis in Pakistan which would benefit its internal and external enemies.

Shujaat said both sides should not show their workers the path which leads to politics of provocation. “Adopt democratic way to take part in the voting on no-trust motion and not make it an issue of their ego,” he added.

He declared that PML-Q has always adopted politics of national interest. “The people who have called us liars have forgotten the sacrifices which had made for the country,” he said.
