Federal Minister for Water, Power and Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif said Sunday that sit-ins and marches were causing more financial losses to the country than floods.
The government, he said, was mobilising all resources and channels for the rehabilitation of flood affected people.
The minister regretted that the organisers of sit-ins were not “showing mercy” on the “marooned” people and instead continued ‘Bhangara’ (dance) for their “undemocratic” demands. It was the government, he added, which was demonstrating flexibility in this regard.
The minister said there was no rift between the government and army. They were enjoying “highly cordial” relations. The army had openly supported the democracy and Constitution, he added.
He said the army was successfully carrying out the operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan and it would continue till the elimination of terrorists.
Asif said the attackers of the PTV building had been identified and they would be dealt with according to law. He said the organizers sit-ins were involved in electricity and water theft.
