MULTAN: Pakistan People’s Party Workers chairman Dr Safdar Abbasi has demanded indiscriminate accountability of all politicians, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PTI chief Imran Khan.
Talking to newsmen here on Monday, he said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had lost his credibility. He demanded resignation from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif before the constitution of a judicial commission. Dr Safdar Abbasi claimed that the government was going to levy Rs 250 billion new taxes in the coming budget, which would overburden the general public and working class. He said that the PPPW would launch a countrywide protest against corruption. He said that demonstrations would be held in Lahore on May 18, in Rawalpindi on May 25 and in Multan on June 3. The demonstrations would be staged in other provinces, he added.
