in Islamabad.
Addressing a presser at the JUI-F provincial secretariat here, the party chief said that if someone could bring 5,000 people to occupy Islamabad, than there was no need of elections.
He said that PTI had no political agenda to achieve through the continued sit-in protest. He alleged that apparently PTI had staged the political show to achieve its goals, but in reality it was for the promotion of western culture in the society. He said that dancing of a few youngsters couldnâ™t be called a political rally.
He said that the protesters were promoting obscenity and vulgarity in the name of sit-in as seen in the past few days in the capital. He said that JUI-F knew how to safeguard the local culture and civilisation. âWe are standing by the Constitution and parliament,â he said.
