On Wednesday Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz, urged the opposition parties to suspend their political rallies amid a strong second wave of Covid-19 in the country.
“We have also suspended all our political rallies and urged the opposition to do so as Covid-19 cases are on the rise in the country,” Shibli said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.
The minister also urged the masses as well as the opposition parties to adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) lay out by the government.
In an apparent response to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz’s speech in Mansehra earlier Wednesday, he said that the people of Pakistan rejected PML-N in the 2018 elections and now people of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) have also thrown away the party’s ‘anti-state’ narrative.
“In what capacity do you not accept the results? You have looted public wealth and brought shame to institutions. You have no right to question [the elections],” he added.
Talking about the Sharif family, Shibli Faraz claimed that politics was just a business for them so that they could protect their personal interests.
“Your speeches start with your own family and end there as well.
