PTI incited Bannu Aman march participants to violence, claims Atta Tarar

Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Atta Ullah Tarar has said that PTI has always indulged in politics of agitation and violence, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Atta Tarar said that PTI's mission was to create instability and chaos in the country.

Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister said the Aman march in Bannu by traders was peaceful but the protestors got violent when people of political parties joined it.

Tarar said Tehreek-e-Insaf also joined the protest of traders and PTI incited people to violence.

He questioned how people could come in a peace march with weapons. He said firing started from where the terror act was started.

Tarar said an attempt was made to create riots in Bannu. The incident was done by Tehreek-e-Insaf itself.

Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister questioned, “if your people are involved in the Bannu incident, how can you conduct an inquiry on your own”.

He said during the 2014 dharnas, congratulations were given to the people after PTI workers attacked and vandalised the PTV centre in Islamabad.

Tarar claimed that PTI was always in search of dead bodies. He said PTI wanted to kill their people and blame the government. Tarar said PTI do not even respect the sacrifices of martyrs.

He said all modern facilities were available to the PTI founder in Adiala jail. He made it clear that the government has not given any order to torture PTI founder in jail.

Tarar said the Foreign Office has registered its protest over the attack on the Pakistani Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany and the Foreign Office has asked the German authorities to arrest the elements involved in the incident.

Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister said the federal government was working for the development and stability of the country.
