TLP Clean up or go home: Bilawal Bhutto targets Imran Khan over TLP episode
Islamabad: PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has targeted Imran Khan over the situation of the country following clashes with the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) and said it is a 'mess' created by the Pakistan PM.
Bhutto said Khan should either clean up or 'go home'.
"Agreement wasn't brought to NA, Govt took action on streets, then banned, people killed, over 500 policemen injured, closed internet, PM didn’t make statement in NA, didnt take NA into confidence at any stage. Now PTI wants to hide behind NA. It’s your mess PM, clean up or go home," the Pakistani opposition leader tweeted.
If the government had to hold negotiations with TLP, then why was it banned, PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi questioned in a media talk in Islamabad on Tuesday as quoted by Geo News.

"These processes do not happen in a democracy," he said.
"If the Prime Minister had the courage, he would have addressed the Parliament. There are containers in the capital, what is the fear?" he asked.
He made the comments after country's Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid on Tuesday said that the government will present a resolution in the National Assembly seeking expulsion of the French envoy and withdraw cases against members of banned TLP.
