Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon has appealed to the people of Karachi to open their businesses and come to work.

He made the request while addressing a press conference in Karachi.

Commenting on Imran Khan’s arrest he stated that Memon stated that Imran’s arrest by the National Accountability Bureau was due to “his involvement in corruption worth billions of rupees”.

He said that PPP does not take pleasure in the arrest of a political opponent, emphasising that it is not their party’s policy to celebrate someone’s arrest.

Memon further noted that the PTI chief’s arrest was not unprecedented as several politicians had previously been arrested by the NAB.

He said that Imran Khan imprisoned many of his political opponents during his tenure. Now Khan’s arrest is creating a ruckus all over the country.

The information minister went on to add that they raised the slogan of Pakistan Khape even on the martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto.

He further said that yesterday the PTI leaders asked the workers to come out on the streets, instead of inciting the public, hold a press conference, and give details of al-Qadir Trust.

“PTI workers burnt buses worth millions of rupees, whoever takes the law into his hands will be severely punished, damaging public property falls under the category of terrorism,” he said.

He said that there are CCTV footage of the people participating in yesterday’s protests available. They will be arrested soon.
