Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders have accused Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan for leading the Peace Rally with ulterior motives of political point scoring.
Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Sunday said, “Khan is a frustrated and immature politician and has no comprehensive plan for the people of Pakistan.” Sanaullah said that Khan had resorted to a ridiculous measure to earn cheap popularity and that people were sane and could not be deceived by a person who had blessings from the establishment. He also ridiculed Khan for being abroad, collecting funds for his hospital when the entire nation was out on the streets protesting load shedding.
PML-N Secretary Information Mushahidullah Khan opined that the PTI Peace March had flopped. He said that Khan had initially promised to go to North Waziristan, but ended up going to South Waziristan, which revealed his intentions of point scoring. He also said that Khan was being financed by foreign lobbies through an international NGO named Code Pink. In his view these foreign lobbies were worried about Khan’s declining credibility and this rally was a stunt attempting to restore it. He accused Khan of being closer to ‘their’ agenda.
Yet another PML-N leader, Khawaja Asif, has termed the rally as a ‘drama’. “Everyone has seen that the PTI’s rally to Waziristan was a failure, similarly people would also disregard the PTI in the upcoming election,” he claimed. He accused Khan of making a fool out of the Pakistani populace, and termed Khan as a ‘fraud’ who collected money from expatriates in the name of charity. Asif also accused Khan of being absent from the country whenever there was a crisis.
