ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said assault and pelting of stones on teachers by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police in Peshawar was “condemnable and shameful”.

“Imran Khan who seeks Haqeeqi Azadi under guise of so-called conspiracy is stoning teachers in KP on demanding salaries,” she said in a news statement. Teachers were bemoaning Imran Khan’ economic revolution, which had been imposed on people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for last eight years, she added.

She said that teachers held Haqeeqi Azadi (real freedom) march at Peshawar Assembly Chowk to get rid of Imran Khan’s “fascism and tyranny”. Payment of salaries and pension to working and retired government employees in KP had been stopped on orders of Imran Khan, she claimed.

“A liar and conspirator” Imran Khan intended to descend on Federal Capital, but did not want peaceful teachers to exercise their right to protest, she regretted.
