Pakistani leader of opposition Syed Khurshid Shah has said in the National Assembly that the country will not be paralyzed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s call.
According to Dawn News, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Shah commented on Information Minister Pervez Rashid’s statement, that the government would not hold talks with PTI, saying that it was disappointing.
He said that it was necessary for the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz ( PML-N) government to hold talks with PTI and that the government was weakening its own standing.
The actions of both Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government as well as Imran Khan were destabilizing the country, Shah added.
It was the first reaction from the PPP chief on Khan’s call of paralyzing cities to increase pressure on the government.
Khan had said that he would go to Lahore, Faisalabad and Karachi to shut the cities down and eventually close down all of Pakistan by December 16. (ANI)
