Mohsin Naqvi requests PTI to postpone protests

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has requested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership to postpone the party’s protests scheduled for today at Islamabad D Chowk.

Speaking to journalists in Islamabad, Naqvi said, “We have requested PTI leadership yesterday that this is not the right time to protest; it is their right to protest but not the way they are doing.”

On sealing the roads of Islamabad, he apologetically said, “We have to ensure the security of our guests who are coming from Peshawar. We have to make them realise that they are in a safe country.”

The e incumbent government is requesting PTI to delay its protests because the Prime Minister (PM) Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim is in Pakistan, while top officials of Saudi Arabia and China are going to visit Pakistan soon.

Meanwhile, PTI leader Zain Qureshi said that if the government delays tabling constitutional amendments till October 23, then their party would also delay the protests and rally, adding: “All issues will be resolved.”
