PTI workers to wreak havoc if allowed to proceed: Khawaja Saad Rafique

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique on Monday said that if the PTI workers were allowed to proceed they will wreak havoc in Islamabad.

The federal minister was talking to Geo News and said this response to a question asked about Police shelling on PTI convoy in Swabi led by CM KPK Pervaiz Khattak.

"These are neither convoys nor public for whom the routes have been obstructed," he commented. He said that since two days the CM KPK has been delivering provocative speeches. 

He said that CM KPK talked about locking down Islamabad, adding that the party is giving the message of violence and unrest.

“The government is not afraid of these demonstrations,” he said.

He said when the PTI workers were allowed in 2014 to proceed to Islamabad, they attacked PTV and Parliament House.

Saad Rafique said that the government has given permission to hold protest in Parade Ground on Nov 2, and it is willing to make preparations for it.

In Swabi, police used tear gas shelling to disperse the PTI's convoy led by KPK Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak, stating that they would not be allowed to proceed to Islamabad.

Meanwhile the Motorway connecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab has been sealed with containers.
