ISLAMABAD: Minister for Privatization Daniyal Aziz on Friday said the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and its allied political parties were doing politics over the Model Town incident to achieve their political and personal interests.
The opposition will not achieve anything from their All Parties Conference (APC) against the present government, he said while talking to a private news channel.
The minister said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government cooperated with the PAT on Model Town incident and also formed a commission to hold an enquiry. “We made the Model Town report public on the demand of the PAT but [still] nothing was proved against the Punjab government,” he added.
Daniyal Aziz said PAT leadership had lodged two FIRs on the incident to achieve political motives and goals.
He said PAT chief Tahirul Qadri held protest demonstration and sit-in at D-Chowk in 2013 against the last regime of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and introduced politics of protest and lock down in the country.
Criticising former president Asif Ali Zardari, he said the PPP co-chairman was playing politics over the incident for political point scoring.
Replying to a question, he said no evidence of corruption was found against former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in the NAB cases. Nawaz Sharif was disqualified for having an Iqama.
