Azma Bokhari equates PTI with the Taliban, terms them as enemies of Pakistan's development

Lahore, (PR) : Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and the Taliban are two sides of the same coin, both are enemies of Pakistan's development and prosperity.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Taliban are two sides of the same coin, both working against Pakistan's development and prosperity, said Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari on Monday.

Addressing a press conference at DGPR, Bokhari said that the PTI has declared war against the state and will be treated as an enemy in wartime. She accused the PTI of kidnapping its parliamentarians and holding them hostage in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Describing the PTI as a fascist party, the minister said that it will go to any lengths to fulfill its agenda. She stressed that all political parties, along with the media and judiciary, must unite against these enemies of the state as the country cannot move forward without eliminating this chaos.

Bokhari highlighted that when the PTI was in power, no one would even return their calls. Now, when 12 heads of state are visiting Pakistan, the PTI is left in distress, she added.

"They are either inviting India's foreign minister to their protests or threatening to shut down Islamabad; they cannot digest the country's progress," she said, slamming the PTI leadership for standing against national development, stability, and economic relief.

She pointed out that the PTI's information secretary announces attacks from secret locations while the party leaders work from home, using children to bear the brunt of police actions. If they have the courage, they should lead their so-called revolution themselves, she added.

The minister accused the PTI of dramatizing harassment from agencies while hiding their own people, including Zain Qureshi.

She mentioned that the prime minister is personally monitoring the preparations for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conference, adding that the PTI and anti-state elements are unhappy with this conference.

"The planned chaos, violence, and destruction on the conference day proves that PTI is against the country's development and is a terrorist organization that has always worked against national interests," she asserted.

She further added that the PTI's members are under immense pressure, with their families longing to meet them. She claimed that they are even more advanced in manipulation than Indian Tamil films.

Bokhari urged all patriotic citizens, including their members of parliament (MPs) and members of the National Assembly (MNAs), to oppose the PTI's anti-national agenda. She lamented that they want to hinder foreign investment and prevent people from accessing basic needs like "Sasti Roti," Kissan cards, free tractors, laptops, motorcycles, and free medicines.

She stated that the PTI's province is billions in debt, lacking even a plan to reduce bread prices. She called upon the PTI to refrain from creating chaos, emphasizing that everyone must unite against their anti-national agenda. The country cannot endure any more chaos, violence, or destruction, she concluded.
