Halwa, biryani brought for Azadi marchers

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MPA Dua Bhutto arrived along with women PTI workers outside the Karachi Press Club on Sunday and brought cauldrons of halwa and biryani and cans of diesel to present to the participants in the ‘Azadi March’ led by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief Maul­ana Fazlur Rehman.

Speaking to journalists, she said that they came there to show their hospitality to the Maulana as he was starting his march from Sindh.

However, she said that the Maulana should not use ‘poor children’ of madressah for political purposes. “We are offering them halwa and diesel and urging them not to use innocent children as a political fuel.”

She alleged that the Maulana was in the Kashmir Committee for 10 years, but he did nothing for Kashmir.

She claimed that the Maulana was protesting for release of some corrupt politicians “fooling the nation for his political gains”.
