Imran should refrain from doing ‘politics on bodies’: Shehbaz

Author: Agencies

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif Sunday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan should refrain from doing politics at a time when the country is reeling from the Mastung tragedy. Shehbaz reached Quetta on Sunday, where he spoke to media after offering condolence for Siraj Raisani and others who were martyred in a recent suicide attack in Mastung. He said that the entire nation is in the state of mourning and that the PTI chairman ‘should be ashamed for making allegations’ at a wretched time. “All the political parties are facing difficulties in election campaign, except for one, which has been given permission to continue with the campaign,” he said. Solution to every problem lies in fair and transparent elections, he added.

Meanwhile, in a statement on social media, the PML-N stated that it had suspended Sunday’s political campaign to observe national day of mourning over Mastung tragedy.
