Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Friday said that the opposition parties are divided on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) march and sit-in in Islamabad by the end of this month.
While talking to the media after performing ground-breaking of various uplift projects in NA-156 constituency in Shah Rukn-e-Alam area here, he said that Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif had opposed the march during party’s meeting in Lahore, saying that he (Shehbaz) was not in favour of a sit-in of the JUI-F.
He said that the opposition leader in NA also disliked Capt (R) Muhammad Safdar statement about the march. He said that a meeting between Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif did not take place on the JUI-F march so far, adding that differences had also appeared in the PPP ranks about the march.
Qureshi questioned Bilawal’s statement about PPP’s support to the JUI-F march by welcoming marchers in various cities. “On whose instructions, Bilawal Bhutto is favouring a sit-in whereas he had termed it against democracy in the past? Was it not an attempt to derail democracy now,” he asked.
He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had staged a peaceful sit-in for reforms in electioneering process in the past.
