Federal Ministers accuse PTI of misusing resources for Islamabad rally

Federal ministers Attaullah Tarar and Engineer Amir Maqam have alleged that attendees at the opposition’s recent rally were forced to participate, accusing the opposition of using unethical tactics to fill their event. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, the ministers criticized the opposition, particularly the Chief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, for his use of provocative language at the rally. Amir Maqam claimed that public resources were misused for the gathering, and that the opposition's rhetoric is focused on threats rather than solutions for the nation. He further stated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders were involved in internal conflicts over corruption, leading to a disconnect with the public. He highlighted the disrespectful remarks directed at Maryam Nawaz during the rally, calling it an affront to the nation's traditions. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar reiterated that Pashtun traditions of respect for women were violated at the event and condemned the opposition for failing to address critical issues like terrorism. He also pointed to PTI’s governance failures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, criticising their inability to launch a single major project during their tenure. Both ministers concluded by stating that the rally had been a failure and urged PTI to shift its focus towards serving the people of the province. Earlier, Attaullah Tarar asserted that the public had rejected the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally on Sunday. In a statement regarding the PTI event, he noted that traffic in Islamabad and Punjab remained normal, questioning the whereabouts of the millions of people who were supposed to bring about a revolution. He criticised PTI for using fake videos to promote their rally and accused the party of employing false and fabricated tweets to conceal the event's failure. He claimed that the PTI engaged in spreading false information and propaganda on social media.
