Maryam demands PTI be treated as terrorist organisation

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz said Friday that the government should deal with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as it would treat a terrorist organisation — and the time has passed to sit and negotiate with former prime minister Imran Khan. In a hard-hitting press conference in Lahore, the PML-N leader lashed out at the deposed prime minister for creating a “scene” at his Zaman Park residence and said that Khan announced a revolt against the state institutions. PTI workers and police clashed for nearly 24 hours as Zaman Park virtually became a battleground, with the law enforcers trying to get through supporters and arrest Khan, who was voted out as the prime minister last April. Scores of people — including police personnel and PTI workers — were injured in the process as the law enforcers fired teargas and party supporters resorted to throwing Molotov cocktails.
