“If Federal Government Is Not Afraid of Long March, Why Has Islamabad Already Been Turned into a ‘Container City’?” — Shafi Jan

Peshawar (Qudrat Daily) — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shafi Jan has said that the continuous press conferences of federal ministers show that they are severely frightened of the PTI long march. Mohsin Naqvi says they will formulate a permanent strategy to deal with PTI. In his reaction on X, he said that Mohsin Naqvi should not make the funerals of martyrs a subject of political rhetoric; using the funerals of martyrs for political point-scoring is highly regrettable. The continuous press conferences of federal ministers show that they are severely frightened of the PTI long march. When federal ministers talk about the law, they should also remember the fundamental rights of the people granted in the Constitution.

Mohsin Naqvi says they will formulate a permanent strategy to deal with PTI. We want to ask: why was this same strategy not formulated for economic stability?

Mohsin Naqvi has perhaps forgotten that the economy is being damaged not by PTI but by their so-called experienced economic team. We will by no means be intimidated by the federal government’s threats. The Form 47 government should remember that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has long been facing government oppression and tyranny.

If the federal government is not afraid of the long march, why has Islamabad already been turned into a “Container City”? Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will never relinquish its constitutional and democratic rights. The September 27 protest is our constitutional right; it cannot be stopped through threats.

In another tweet, Shafi Jan said that the picking up of Provincial Minister Fazal Shakoor Khan from Peshawar by unidentified individuals is a direct attack on the Constitution, the law, democracy, and the public mandate.

Under which law is the picking up of the people’s elected representatives in this manner justified? What exactly is being proven by making Fazal Shakoor Khan disappear? The disrespect of the mandate of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa must be stopped. We will not be overawed by such tactics. Snatching away the right to peaceful political struggle is the height of fascism, but we will continue to fight for our rights while remaining within the bounds of the Constitution and the law.
