The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to table a resolution in the Balochistan Assembly, seeking a ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), following “violence” in its thee-day long protest that ended abruptly in the wee hours of Wednesday. <\/p>\n
PML-N parliamentary leader Saleem Khosa would table the resolution against the former ruling party, which he believes has turned into a “political anarchist” group, today.<\/p>\n
In the resolution \u2014 a copy of which is available with Geo News, Khosa claimed that the PTI, which has been at loggerheads with the incumbent government, was responsible for the May 9 events \u2014 a reference to the violent protest broke out last year following PTI founder Imran Khan’s arrest and saw attacks on public properties including military institutions in many parts of the country. <\/p>\n
“Once again, it [the former ruling party] is carrying out violent actions,” it stated, noting that PTI’s “anarchist agenda” has affected the country’s system and every sector, including judiciary, media and the economy.<\/p>\n
The resolution further stated that a provincial chief executive\u2019s attempts to open a front against the Centre were tantamount to advancing the anti-state\u2019s power agenda.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it said the KP government\u2019s attempts to attack the Centre, with state machinery, are proof of the non-political agenda of a political party.<\/p>\n
He urged the federal government to “ensure a ban on PTI” after the recent violence in Islamabad.<\/p>\n
In the early hours of Wednesday, the Imran Khan-founded party announced a “temporary suspension” of its “do-or-die” protest following a midnight crackdown by the law enforcers, which effectively dispersed the PTI workers.<\/p>\n
The protest was staged against the “illegal” incarceration of PTI founder Imran Khan, other party leaders and workers, “stolen mandate” in February 8 general elections and 26th Constitutional Amendment.<\/p>\n
PTI says that eight of its members were killed in the stand-off with the law enforcers, while government officials say that three Rangers personnel were martyred along with two other police personnel.<\/p>\n
The latest protest episode was part of the PTI’s months-long efforts to secure Khan’s release who has been behind bars in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail in various cases for more than a year now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
