LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Uzma Bukhari criticized Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman and suggested that if the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader believes that protests are the solution to all problems, he should go ahead and organize one.
During a joint press conference with Social Welfare Authority Chairperson Hina Pervaiz Butt, Uzma pointed out that there were more protests than they received votes, indicating that Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman rose to power in Karachi through such demonstrations.
Uzma also turned her attention to the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) where she highlighted the deteriorating infrastructure and noted that while bridges are collapsing, some leaders are preoccupied with pleasing their imprisoned leaders.
She questioned the timing of the judicial commission request and wondered why it took a year to consider such a move.
Uzma further criticized PTI figures including Hassan Niazi, Yasmin Rashid and Ijaz Chaudhry for allegedly orchestrating the May 9 coordinated attacks on military installations targeting military posts.
She rejected the need for a judicial commission, arguing that the events of May 9 were well documented and well remembered.
Uzma went on to cover the Sania Zehra murder case and revealed that an attempt was made to disguise her murder as a suicide.
Forensic evidence contradicted the suicide claim as no signs of strangulation were found and DNA tests implicated the mother-in-law and husband.
Bukhari stated that those responsible, regardless of their power, will not escape justice, stressing that any injustice that occurs during the tenure of their government must be punished accordingly.
