Govt Warns of Strong Response to PTI's 'Unusual' Protests
Islamabad: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs, Rana Sanaullah Khan has said that the government is fully prepared to respond to any "unusual" protest strategies from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) with equally "unusual" measures.
His remarks came on Thursday hours after the PTI announced a new nationwide protest campaign against the 26th Constitutional Amendment which it strongly opposed in both houses of the parliament during its passage on October 20.
Speaking on the Geo News program "Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath", the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader said that the PTI's protest call was meant to obstruct economic progress and create uncertainty in the country.
Pointing to the "low attendance" in the PTI's previous power shows and protests, Sanaullah was of the view that the former ruling party could not gather a large number of protesters that could be troublesome for the government to handle.
He, however, said that in case of any "unusual plan" by the former ruling party, the federal government would take "unusual measures" to handle the situation.
To a question, Sanaullah dispelled speculations of any deal between the PTI and the coalition government. He categorically rebuffed such rumors. -The News
