Former Punjab chief minister and PML-N leader Hamza Shehbaz said on Monday that PTI Chairman Imran Khan by ‘orchestrating’ attacks on military buildings and memorials of martyrs had hurt the feelings of their families, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
During his visit to ‘Yadgare Shuhada’ at Manawan in Lahore, he said that what PTI leaders and workers did on May 9 was ‘unprecedented’. “This was something which even Pakistan’s enemies could not do in the last 76 years of the country’s existence,” he said, and added that the nations which did not respect its martyrs could not progress.
He said nobody should forget that Pakistan came into existence following countless sacrifices given by Muslims of the sub-continent. “Attacks on Jinnah House and government buildings are highly unfortunate,” Hamza said, adding, “Similarly, airbases at Mianwali and Sargodha and the GHQ also came under attack.”
Former Punjab chief minister said a mob of few thousand people could not be allowed to hurt the sentiments of the entire nation. “May 9 will be remembered as a ‘Black Day’,” he added.
