Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has ruled out any possibility of talks with the protestors.
Talking to the media, along with Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar, in Islamabad this evening, he said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the government are very clear that there will be no dialogue with these people.
The Interior Minister said the violent protestors were looking for dead bodies but the government, under the directions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, demonstrated restraint to clear the area and avoid loss of lives.
Without mentioning the name of PTI founder’s spouse, Mohsin Navi said a woman is fully responsible for the financial and human losses being occurred at the hands of violent protestors.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said the state forces have successfully pushed back the miscreants and cleared the D-Chowk and other areas near the Red Zone.
He warned that no one should test the patience of the state.
The Minister said the miscreants would be dealt strictly if they attempted to disrupt public order again. He said dialogue is not possible with those who challenge the writ of the government.
Highlighting the efforts of the Interior Minister, Attaullah Tarar said Mohsin Naqvi has been leading from the front for the past two days, which reflects his bravery.
He said we are hosting our distinguished guest, the President of Belarus, who is in Islamabad just a few meters away from D-Chowk, while the protesters are attempting to tarnish the image of the country.
The Information Minister said no one can challenge the authority of the government by throwing shells and pebbles at security forces.
He questioned as to why Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf brought Afghan nationals to protest against the government.
He said no political party can include in its manifesto a provision allowing to bring foreign citizens to destabilize an elected government.
He said those who have been taken into custody will not be granted bail, and special sections will be imposed on the arrested Afghan citizens to ensure that no foreign individuals can become a part of such activities in the future.
