Shibli Faraz

Shibli Faraz, Minister for Information and Broadcasting, has on Monday urged the opposition to stop playing with the lives of innocent people just to gain political benefits amidst spike in COVID-19 cases.

While addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he issues statement in a response to PDM’s Jalsa in Multan.

The Minister said in recent past these leaders were demanding strict lockdown in the country and now they have pushed aside the threats of pandemic for the sake of their personal motives.

He said the opposition is unduly making furore and fuss to protect their looted money.

Shibli Faraz said PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif remained the top character during all non-democratic actions in the history of Pakistani politics. He said their language reminds us Nawaz Sharif who not even spared women for the sake of his politics.

Due to bad policies of PPP, a mainstream party became a provincial party, Faraz added.

He went on to add that the current opposition did nothing for poor people of the country and they should realize that these tactics will not work to get people’s support.

Talking about inflation and other problems faced by the country, the Minister said we are taking concrete measures under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan to resolve all such issues.

Bilawal clearly proves he doesn’t trust Nawaz Sharif, says Shibli Faraz

Shibli Faraz targets Bilawal Bhutto

Federal Minister for Information Shibli Faraz said that Bilawal’s statement clearly proves that he does not trust Nawaz Sharif.

In a tweet on Friday, Shibli Faraz wrote, “These contradictions prove that PDM is nothing but a group of power-hungry politicians, working together to serve their personal interests.”

In another tweet the information minister said people of Gilgit-Baltistan have rejected the hollow narrative of the opposition.

The successful public meetings of PTI in Gilgit-Baltistan and public support show their confidence in the leadership of Imran Khan and suggest the party’s electoral victory, Faraz added.

The Minister said to include Gilgit-Baltistan in the national mainstream for development is Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision and promise.

Gilgit-Baltistan Elections

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto termed PM Imran Khan’s promise to make Gilgit-Baltistan a province ahead of the November 15 elections as rigging.

He said the premier and his party cannot be trusted due to their ‘U-turns’.

“Imran Khan breaks all his promise. He promised to make South Punjab a separate province within 100 days of his government,” the PPP leader recalled. “But he didn’t.”

Moreover, Bilawal said his party will table a constitutional amendment in the Parliament on GB’s provincial status.

The PPP chairman, in an interview, said that Imran Khan-led PTI government has lost the trust in people.

The decline in Pakistan’s economy and rising inflation is all because of an incompetent PTI government, said Bilawal.

“We avoid such comments during public gatherings. No one person can be held responsible for bringing Imran Khan to power.”

We have only two options, take an extremist stance or stop and think about how to move forward, he said.
