Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan earlier today expressed profound shock over Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s silence on MQM head Altaf Hussain’s controversial speech.
Deploring government’s silence on Altaf Hussain’s controversial speech as inexplicable, he said it was government’s responsibility to defend national security institutions.
In a statement, Khan said that, “Hussain’s hate-filled speech incited the audience to violence against the state, violating all laws of PEMRA”.
“It is shameful how PEMRA’s laws were allowed to be violated while a British citizen addressed the people in Karachi,” he said.
Khan also assailed the Sindh government for suspending SSP Rao Anwar for doing his job. Instead of taking action on the evidence produced by the SSP, he was removed, he said.
“Worse still, DSP Fateh Muhammad is murdered the next morning, government remains silent,” he said.
The PTI chief said that one of the aims of NAP was to dismantle militant wings of all partis.
He also questioned government’s failure to take up this issue with the British government since Hussain was a British citizen.
