Sherry Rehman dubs PTI’s long march as ‘short march’

ISLAMABAD, Oct 26 (SABAH): Federal Minister for Climate Change and PPP Senator Sherry Rehman has taken a jibe at PTI Chairman Imran Khan for announcing his long march from Lahore to Islamabad terming it a short march instead of long march daring him to announce his march from Karachi to Islamabad like the PPP if he is so confident of his success.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the PPP senator wrote: “Imran Khan has announced not a long march but a short march from Lahore to Islamabad. If their Imran Bachao movement is so popular, then they should start their march from Karachi to Islamabad like the Peoples Party. I had challenged Tehreek-e-Insaf that they cannot hold a long march like the Peoples Party.

“Their short march will start from GT Road and end at GT Road. Imran Khan knows that people don’t want to become a part of his politics of anarchy. On May 25 and October 21, people rejected the call of Tehreek Intishar (movement of disruption) by not coming out. Imran Khan will fail this time too.

“Elections will not be announced on the basis of personal demand of any group of people. Elections will be held on time according to the Constitution. In Sindh and Balochistan, 2.6 million people are still waiting for emergency aid, with millions stuck in camps. In this situation, they are holding marches to press for election demand.”
