PTI did not invite us for Islamabad protest: Sami-ul-Haq

ISLAMABAD: Chairman of Difa-e-Pakistan Council Maulana Sami-ul-Haq has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan has not invited them to be a part of his sit-in at Islamabad on 2nd November, ARY News reported.

He was talking to media following a party meeting in Islamabad.

“The decision of joining the protest will be made following consultations if PTI invites us,” he said.

Haq said that the appointment of foreign minister is necessary and a foreign policy should also be devised in the wake of the prevailing situation.

He said that the government is including the names of the clerics in the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) instead of criminal elements. He said blocking the National Identity Cards (NIC) of the people is against the constitution.

Difa-e-Pakistan Council chairman demanded the government to remove the restrictions placed on the religious political parties.

Haq stated that Afghan refugees are being shown as Pakistan’s enemies in order to please the United States.

He also urged for the appointment of the new army chief according to the law.
