Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh chapter president Ali Zaidi on Wednesday condemned the attack on military installations during violent protests in the country following Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, the PTI leader said that his political struggle has always been “peaceful”, adding that he was in custody during the last few days and did not know about the violent attacks following Imran Khan’s arrest.
“PTI was not involved in the vandalism done on the Corps Commander House, [Jinnah House]”, he said. “The reason you can sleep peacefully at night is because your borders are being protected,” he said.
He maintained that those who were involved in vandalism must be held accountable. “Whoever attacked military posts, they should be held accountable. This can’t be PTI in any case,” the former federal minister added.
On a question regarding leaving PTI like other two party leaders, Mahmood Moulvi and Amir Kayani, Ali Zaidi said: “I will leave PTI when Imran Khan will leave. If anyone wants me to leave PTI, they would have to shoot me in the head,” he said.
“No one can make me leave PTI even if Imran Khan fires me. It is my party, I made it,” Zaidi asserted.
