Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed the spokespersons of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and his government to counter Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl’s (JUI-F) narrative in the media, a local news outlet reported on Wednesday.
Presiding over a meeting, the premier told the spokespersons that JUI-F’s Azadi March is only aimed at destablising the country. He told them to inform the masses about the economic achievements of the incumbent government.
“The country is heading towards prosperity but a few individuals are bent upon creating hurdles in the way of development,” the report quoted the prime minister as saying.
The spokespersons told PM Imran that the march would lead to political instability in the country. However, they expressed determination to counter JUI-F with full strength.
The premier told them that the government wants to handle the crisis politically.
He further directed the spokespersons to refrain from commenting on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif’s illness.
