Former Punjab governor and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Chaudhry Sarwar said that why was the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) threatened by the ‘weak’ PTI?
“We will hold sit-in at all costs despite the government’s unconstitutional tactics. We will face the violence and arrests with courage,” he told media persons.
Sarwar said that the protest was a step to maintain democracy and the constitution’s supremacy – for which ‘the government must not force us to take law in our hands’.
The PTI leader said that if the government resorted to violence against the party workers ‘then we would not ask our workers to tolerate such aggression’.
“Why is the PML-N trembling if PTI is such a weak and fragile political party?” he asked.
The PML-N, Sarwar said, knows that over one million people will participate in the November 2 protest – held to eradicate corruption and bad governance from the country. He lashed out at the government for infringing the democratic right to protest as it contradicts the essence of democracy.
