ISLAMABAD, May 22: Federal Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that government will adopt every constitutional method to stop the bloody march. Marriyum said that when Imran Khan was the Prime Minister, why didn’t he dissolve the assembly and hold elections. Now, we have the constitutional authority to hold elections, we will hold elections whenever we want. PTI is marching to hide their failure, she said. Speaking to a private television channel, she said the government would hold discussions with the coalition partners on how to deal with the long march. She said the elections will happen only when the government wants it as it possesses the
constitutional right to do so. The information minister said that PTI should forget that it would be allowed to take out a march. She said the ‘bloody’ march is not an expression neither it is a democratic right nor a protest. The minister said that it is a mob that is coming to Islamabad for hooliganism and causing unrest. She questioned, “Why didn’t Imran Khan dissolve the assembly when he was the prime minister?” Aurangzeb said that Imran Khan talks filth against the institutions and labeled him an ‘undemocratic’ person. Responding to a question if the government will opt for the deployment of the army or other paramilitary forces in Islamabad, she said they would consult on it and the interior ministry and government possess the authority. Marriyum Aurangzeb said the government will use every constitutional means to stop the PTI’s ‘bloody’ long march and to protect people in Islamabad. – NNI
