Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said on Thursday that one attack on General Headquarters of the Army (GHQ) was carried out by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and now another one has been carried out by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Addressing a press conference, the Foreign Minister referred to violent acts of PTI workers, pointing out that this is not the first time that they have violated the law. “I had warned earlier that you people are creating Altaf Hussain in Punjab,” said Bilawal.


He continued by adding that Imran Khan believes that he can cross every red line and the law is only applicable on others.

The PPP head advised PTI to not make “matters worse [and] call for an end to violent protests and declare that you will abide by the rule of law and Constitution.”

Bilawal said that he is principally against banning any political party but said that “such decisions are made in view of the circumstances”.
If such a decision is taken, he continued, “it would be taken because there would be no other choice left.”

PM’s address to the nation:

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif in an address to the nation on Thursday termed damaging public property an “act of terrorism” and “enmity” towards the country.

In a short address, the premier said that he would like to warn “terrorists” who are harming the country to stop, otherwise strict actions will be taken against them.

Sharif was referring to PTI supporters who are protesting against the arrest of party head Imran Khan.

PM also recalled his party members’ arrests, adding that “revengeful acts in politics never renders good results”.

He also added that “all evidence” has been accumulated in the Al-Qadir Trust case against PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is now under NAB custody for the next eight days.
