LAHORE , May 17, 2023: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) supremo Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain criticised on Wednesday the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying that a person claiming to be a leader incited the people to indulge in acts of vandalism.
Speaking to media, Mr Hussain heaped praise on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir, saying, “Gen Asim Munir is the leader of the army. Whoever speaks against him will target the country.”
Mentioning the rally of the PML-Q to express solidarity with the army, Mr Hussain said, “A single party [PML-Q] is representing today’s rally.”
The former prime minister, while expressing his views regarding the elections, said the PML-Q was convinced from the first day that elections should be held simultaneously in the country.
Speaking about PTI’s future, Mr Hussain said, “Irrespective of the fact whether the country will hold elections or not, the PTI will know its future soon.”
On Tuesday, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Sarwar said those involved in the vandalism on May 9 should be brought to justice.
In a video message, the former Punjab governor heaped praise on the army, saying, “The army has handled the situation with great restraint. Attempts to create differences between the people and the national security institution have been thwarted by the army.”
