PM Shehbaz Sharif terms PTI chief as Joseph Goebbels – German Nazi Party chief propagandist

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said keeping in view the facts established so far, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) under its chief purposefully deployed violence as a policy.

Responding to a tweet of the PTI chairman, the prime minister said if there was someone who deserved the title of modern-day Joseph Goebbels, chief propagandist for the German Nazi Party, was none other than the PTI chairman who is certainly perfecting the art of lying.

“How convenient of the PTI chairman to forget how he incited his cult followers to violence over a span of one year! He called the Army and intelligence leadership names, exploited the people’s emotions through slogans of ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ and use of religious symbols and even administered the oath of ‘Jihad’ to them,” he said.

He said as the state symbols and military installations came under attack at the hands of his goons, he (the PTI chief) refused to condemn violence, what to speak of urging the arsonists to stand down.

“His speeches and Twitter posts have enough evidence to refute his claims and establish a build-up to the events of May 9. He can lie through his teeth, history doesn’t,” he added.
