We never celebrate, nor distribute sweets.<\/p>\n<p>He said that PPP has been against NAB from day one, but Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has always defended it. From 2008 to 2013, it was part of the Charter of Democracy that we would abolish NAB, but Imran Khan gave it a new life and started a campaign to save it.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the coalition partner in the government has agreed with our position, which we have been saying since day one. NAB reforms were our demand, but Imran Khan opposed them and leveled allegations against us.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the arrest of Imran Khan, he said that it is unfortunate that he is facing serious corruption charges. He cheated his cabinet in the matter of transferring money from Britain. I demand that all members of the PTI cabinet at the time be asked to verify these allegations.<\/p>\n<p>He said that it would have been better if Imran Khan had been arrested, then his party would have said how brave their leader is, but everyone has seen their reaction. If the PTI wants to remain a political party, it should call for peaceful protests and limit its political reactions.<\/p>\n<p>He said that such attacks were carried out by PTI which is unprecedented in history, as far as I remember, an attack on GHQ was carried out by the outlawed TTP and now it has been carried out by PTI. An attack on Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah&#8217;s house in Balochistan was carried out by banned BLA and now Jinnah House in Lahore was attacked by PTI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign Minister and Chairman of Pakistan People&#8217;s Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, reacted to the ongoing protests across the country after the arrest of Imran Khan, saying that if the PTI wanted to remain a political party, it should have called for peaceful protests.
