Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif criticised the government for its handling of the situation arising out of the banned outfit Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) rally, saying “federal ministers are giving contradictory statements on the prevailing situation.”
The opposition leader in the National Assembly quoted a minister as saying that Prime Minister Imran Khan “was unaware of 2020 agreement with TLP”.
“There is a sheer chaos & lack of leadership & the government machinery is totally clueless,” Shehbaz tweeted on Thursday.
“This is IK’s way of governing Pakistan!!”
Meanwhile, Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari took to Twitter to reject his allegation, calling Shehbaz a “confused soul” and saying the person he had quoted was not a federal minister.
“There is absolutely no confusion in the govt led by the PM as the cabinet decision yesterday made abundantly clear the position on TLP. Seems massive confusion persists in your information!” she wrote.
She tweeted that “the state has laws against terrorism & militancy. Killing of policemen & other LEAs & any act of terrorism by TLP or any gp will be dealt with, with full force of the law. Restraint by the govt so far shd not be mistaken as weakness. Let there be no ambiguity on that count.”
