ISLAMABAD: PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry berated coalition government, saying that it has “started a new episode of barbarism”.  Speaking at a press conference, PTI leader said that government was “forcefully picking up women and children and inflicting violence upon them”.

Earlier today, Islamabad Police took wife of Shahbaz Gill’s driver in custody after they raided latter’s residence to recover PTI leader’s mobile phone for investigation in sedition case being pursued against him. “Coalition government is taking these people into custody, saying these people were running campaigns against Army on directions of Imran Khan,” said Fawad, adding that PTI chief has all his assets in Pakistan and wants its Army to be strong. 

“How will Pakistan survive if Army and nation’s institutions are not strong?” he questioned.
He said that Khan has done everything for people of Pakistan and Army is also a part of this country. “Government is trying to pit Army against PTI and this plan is absolutely childish.” Talking about arrest of Ammad Yousuf, who is head of ARY News, Fawad said that police took him into custody late at night which has been traumatic for his children. 

“Government did the same on May 25 and later, they started charging party leaders with blasphemy cases,” he added. 

Criticising incumbent Cabinet, he said that these leaders do not deserve to go anywhere. “Be it Saudi Arabia or any part of world, people will take their shoes off as soon as they see these people.” Fawad said that Ministry of Information was sinking under coalition government, adding that it is an insult to call Marriyum Aurangzeb Information Minister.  Berating Sharif and Zardari family, PTI leader said that they only come to Pakistan to loot money. “They have their assets in London and they only come to Pakistan to have fun.” He said that Nawaz Sharif was disqualified because had not declared his companies outside of Pakistan.

 He said that Sharif family was laundering money through other companies. “These two families stole money and kept it in London and Dubai,” he added.  Talking about party’s public gathering on August 13 in Lahore Hockey Ground, Fawad said that PTI will install a new turf on ground. “PTI will bear all expenses of jalsa,” he said.
