Minister for Climate Change Senator Mushahidullah Khan Saturday said Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and allied political parties were doing politics over dead bodies to achieve their political motives.
PAT Chief Tahirul Qadri was not a democratic person and has no concern and links with democracy, he said while talking to a private news channel. The minister said the opposition was hatching conspiracy against the country and democracy while PAT and PTI had created hurdles in the way of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government through protest demonstrations and sit-ins.
He said both the political parties had tried to delay number of projects launched by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif despite that he had launched China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Orange Line Train, Metro Bus services, energy projects and constructed motorways and road networks.
He reiterated that opposition parties were doing politics on Model Town incident but never talked about assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, Karsaz and Baldiya incidents in which several people lost their lives.
Mushahidullah Khan said PAT chief had rejected Justice Baqir Najfi report on Model Town and advised Qadri to approach Supreme Court. He claimed that many cases were already registered against Tahirul Qadri in Pakistan.
Criticising the politics of former president Asif Ali Zardari, he appreciated Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his utterances in support of democratic system.
Replying to a question, he said that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were enjoying good historical and brotherly relations. Saudi Arabia always supported Pakistan and Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership in difficult time, he added.
