Chairman Kashmir Committee Shehryar Khan Afridi Sunday said that Pakistani nation could no more by fooled by a bunch of political stooges who had time and again looted the national exchequer since 1980s.

Talking to media persons here at a ceremony, he said that the people of Pakistan were aware of the true agenda of the rejected politicians who had formed an alliance in a bid for their political existence.

“After being rejected by the voters in successive elections since 2018, the rejected politicians now have formed an alliance under PDM to help save each other.

People rejected them in 2018 general elections, in FATA polls and again in Gilgit Baltistan. But the corrupt and crooked politicians are making their last ditch efforts to fool the people again with political gimmicks,” he said.

Afridi said that by rejecting the political gimmick of PDM, the people would show that they stood beside Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision of prosperous Pakistan.

“The politicians who have gathered in the name of PDM today, in the past have been calling each other thieves, plunderers and corrupt.

But these same political thugs stand united today to save their plundered wealth. Just like 2018, their defeat will be declared at the hands of common people, ” he added.

Shehryar Afridi deplored that despite NACTA’s threat alert, a bunch of rejected politicians were bent upon playing with the lives of the people of Lahore to further their political interests. The PDM leadership would be held fully responsible for causing any harm to masses, he added.

The chairman kashmir committee said that the Indian forces were openly violating the ceasefire agreement on the Line of Control (LOC), bombing unarmed Kashmiris while our brave forces were fighting the enemy on LOC.

“Under such circumstances, some corrupt politicians are hiding in the guise of PDM and planning riots in the country in the name of long march. While the government and the people are united in fighting the monster of Coronavirus, a bunch of politicians with vested interests want to use people to save their plundered wealth, ” Afridi asserted .

He said that the Pakistani nation could not allow these politicians to play with the national interest. The time had come for public to hold these thieves accountable, he added.

” These thugs have repeatedly robbed the people in the name of democracy. Now they have once again come together to deceive people with empty and false slogans. The people have come to know the reality of these hollow and false slogans. People are no longer ready to be fooled by these thieves, ” he remarked.

Afridi said Modi, Covid and PDM were all contemporary enemies of Pakistan.

” This bunch is attacking Pakistan’s interests from all sides. Under the leadership of Imran Khan, we will unite to defeat the three enemies of Pakistan, ” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz on Sunday said the government is determined to actively bring optimum solace and comfort in the lives of common man. In a series of tweets, he said, a marked recent decrease in the prices of sugar is proof of Prime Minister’s firm resolve to provide relief to the people. “Price reduction of sugar is a clear depiction of Imran Khan’s commitment to provide relief to the poor,”. Despite the prevalence of Coronavirus pandemic and economic challenges – the lives of people remained saved – and economy was thriving – owing to prudent strategy of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
