Confrontational politics to harm national interests: Shahbaz
[DAWN] Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab... on Sunday said that politics of protest and confrontation hinders and undermines the national ideals of progress and development. Speaking to a delegation of national and provincial politicians, he said the country has been passing through a critical phase and was facing internal and external challenges, adding that it cannot afford the 'protest politics.' The statement comes in the wake of Pakistain Awmi Tehrik (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri ...Pak politician, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran. He usually resides in Canada, but returns to Pakistain periodically to foam at the mouth and lead demonstrations. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, Qadri claims to be the author of Pak's blasphemy law. Other times he says it wasn't him... 's expected arrival in the country. Qadri earlier had said that if his supporters are harmed upon his arrival, then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... would be held responsible and the party would hold protests outside the Prime Minister house in Islamabad. The chief minister said the elements engaged in politics of agitation were trying to hamper the ongoing process of progress and development, but 180 million patriotic and enlightened people of Pakistain will reject the politics of sabotage and chaos.
