PML-N leader Malik Ahmad Khan has alleged that the PTI is inciting the public against government officials and called on the caretakers to take action against the party.

At a press conference, he likened the PTI to Pablo Escobar. “There is no difference between the two,” he said, adding that the party’s workers were “harassing” government officials.

Ahmad further claimed that a similar pattern was also soon before the May 9 riots, recalling how PTI workers attacked the police and law enforcement agencies at the time of Imran’s arrest.

“I request the caretakers that the way the situation has developed […] if you don’t pre-empt it, this will spiral out of control,” he added.
