The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf have turned down a request by the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) to cancel their scheduled rallies on October 28 and October 30, respectively, following the demise of Nusrat Bhutto.
Both the PML-N and PTI declined to accommodate the appeal by PPP Punjab Senior Minister Raja Riaz, saying their parties were equally aggrieved over the death, but it was not possible for them to back out against corrupt rulers. Addressing a press conference on Monday, Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmed had asked both rival political parties in Punjab to postpone their rallies. He said the PPP workers were in mourning over the death of Nusrat Bhutto and all political parties should share their feelings and promote politics based on reconciliation. He said the PPP had announced to cancel all its demonstrations against the Punjab government and also appealed to the PML-N and PTI to postpone their rallies, as they would hurt the sentiments of PPP workers.
However, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah categorically said there would be no change in the PML-N rally scheduled on October 28 and Shahbaz Sharif would address the protest rallies instead of Nawaz Sharif in Punjab. All rallies and public meeting would be organised as scheduled, Sanaullah said. He announced that a public meeting would also be organised in Faisalabad’s Dhobi Ghat Ground on November 3. Likewise, PTI Central Information Secretary Umer Sarfraz Cheema said the party was grieved over the sad demise of Nusrat Bhutto and had condoled with the PPP leadership. However, it was not possible for the PTI to linger on their struggle against corrupt rulers which was close to succeed after a long effort, he added.
Raja Riaz failed to realize if PPP had carried on the legacy of Bhutto, there would not be any of the rallies or protest.
May Allah have mercy on NB soul. ameen.
@Haligonian,
It is indeed the legacy of Bhutto which has eventually thrown the country into the mayhem that we see.
Nawaz Sharif & Imran Khan have shown their true colours. They should have postponed their rallies out of courtesy & respect. It is a shame!!!

تخت لاہور کی جنگ
عمران خان ، اسٹیبلشمنٹ کا سپاہی ، نواز لاہور کا پرانا دعویدار
سرائیکی ایریا ، سندھ ،بلوچستان، خیبر پختونخواہ ،کشمیر ، گلگت بلتستان کے عوام کا اس سیاست سے کوئی تعلق نہیں
یہ لوگ نیا جال لا رہے ہیں – یہ ہماری نئے صوبوں کی جدوجہد اور موجودہ صوبوں کے عوام کے حقوق کے مخالف ہیں،
with imran khan! only light at the end of the tunnel
