Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, while responding to a tweet by PTI Chairman Imran Khan, has said that “arrangements are being made [to deal with] your (Imran’s) fascism, anti-nationalism and attacks on the country”.

Quoting Imran’s tweet in which he criticised the government for illegally arresting PTI leaders, Aurangzeb said, “Arrangements are being made so that no one attacks the state under the guise of politics.”

“You had attacks carried out on the homes of people’s daughters. You arrested people’s daughters in front of their parents [and] dragged people’s sisters but still, no one attacked the country like you did.

“Arrangements are being made so that in the future, no one will dare to commit this enmity against the country,” the minister added.
