Govt decides to use of force as last option against ‘Azadi March’
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The federal government has devised its final strategy to tackle Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F’s (JUI-F) “Azadi March” and decided that use of force will be the last option if the protest spread anarchy.
According to the details garnered, the federal government decided to take strict action against marchers if they will try to enter Islamabad’s Red Zone. It was also reported that Prime Minister Imran Khan has given complete authority to the government’s negotiation committee, headed by Defence Minister Pervez Khattak.
Furthermore, the PTI-led government has decided to hold talks with the protesters if they stage a sit-in in Islamabad and they will use of force as last option.
The JUI-F’s caravan reached Lahore from where it will make its way to Rawalpindi. After arriving in Multan on Tuesday, the caravan made its way to Lahore. A large crowd of supporters of the JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman joined their leader and chanted slogans against the government.
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the national leaders are in jails while incompetent rulers have destroyed economy.
