Ch Brothers condemn Faisalabad incident

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Q President and former Prime Minister Senator Ch Shujat Hussain and senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Ch Parvez Elahi have said that if killers of Model Town tragedy were punished then bloodshed of the innocents would not have been shed in Faisalabad on Monday.

In a joint statement issued here this evening, they strongly condemned violence and firing on the occasion of protest of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan and said the govt should not have repeated Model Town Lahore tragedy, no words were strong enough to condemn violence and bloodshed in Faisalabad, attack of the ruling party on those demonstrating for redressal of their grievances was highly deplorable though N-League leaders themselves had been protesting by launching Tehrik-e-Nijat during the tenure of the Peoples Party but the Peoples Party had not resorted to attacks on them, the rulers had got panicky due to slogans of Go Nawaz Go Shahbaz but they could not prolong their rule by resorting to such tactics, blood of the innocents would not go waste, those clamouring democracy day and night and teaching others of lesson of democracy were not even ready to give the right of peaceful protest to their opponents and they talk about democracy after firing bullets on the innocents, there could not be bigger joke with the country, the nation and democracy than this.

The PML leaders further said that first principle of democracy was tolerance but the N-League leadership totally lacked this spirit, they regarded oppression, gundaism and use of force as solution of all problems which they always and on every occasion displayed against their opponent political workers but problems were mot solved in this manner. They concluded by questioning as to what sort of govt this was which itself destroyed the circumstances and put the blame on others.
