Speaking at their first-ever joint presser at the Karachi Press Club, the leaders of the three parties said that beturbanned goons have targeted only the progressive parties during their electioneering. On other hand, they added, the right wing parties have been provided open ground to run their election campaign.
"A clear ideological line has been drawn," said senior PPP leader Taj Haider while addressing the joint presser. He said that progressive parties are at one side, which strive for the elimination of extremism and terrorism and hence are being attacked and restrained from their election campaign.
On other side, he added, some parties, whom the beturbanned goons believe to be their warrantors, have continued electioneering.
"The Afghanistan and Pakistain region had been burning for the last 30 years. Do Western powers want to hand it over to fundamental forces again, when they leave?" he asked. He stated that beturbanned goons attacking progressive parties are krazed killer wings of right-wing political parties.
