Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Senator Dr Babar Awan said on Sunday that the memo gate scandal was a conspiracy of an American national and the federal government has nothing to do with the memo but the PPP will face it not only on legal grounds but also on the political front, as the memo was a political issue. He was talking to journalists at Thanil Kamal Village, around 30 kilometres from Chakwal after condoling the death of Chaudhry Munawar Khan. PPP Chakwal President Shah Jahan Sarfraz Raja, Azam Minhas, Malik Waheed and Maqbool Hasmi were also present. Awan said that the public meeting of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan at Karachi was not a political show but a fashion show. The PPP leader criticised Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and said that Makhdoom Javed Hashmi was a seasoned politician and his exit from the PML-N was a great a setback to the Sharif brothers and many more setbacks were in store in the near future.
Awan, responding to a question, said that Pakistan was passing through a serious situation, therefore, national harmony and unity were the need of the hour and this was not a time for holding big public meetings but to sit together and after consultation and dialogue, a join strategy was to be made to handle the situation. He said that the PPP was an ideological party and sacrifices rendered by the PPP for democracy were part of the country’s history and those people, who were talking about a revolution, were living in a fool’s paradise. Awan announced Rs 0.1 million for Girls High School Thanil Kamal. The PPP leader also spoke about the women protection bill.
