Former National Assembly speaker and senior PTI leader Asad Qaiser said that the Punjab government should resolve the issues of farmers instead of making TikTok videos.
The opposition on Friday staged protest demonstration outside the Parliament House to show solidarity with the farmers.
Barrister Gohar, Sahibzada Hamid Raza and other leaders from the opposition benches participated in the protest.
Addressing the press conference, PTI leaders said that the farmers were arrested in Faisalabad when they met them.
“The farmers in Punjab don’t have amount for the next crop and the government isn’t procuring their wheat,” Sahibzada Hamid Raza said.
Asad Qaiser said that the PTI will not let the wheat crisis to die until the farmers get some relief. “We are standing with the farmers and government should be ashamed on its conduct,” he said.
The PTI leaders said that they wanted to raise the issue in the house today but the session was prorogued in a hurry.
“The government prorogued the session just after the proceedings of 15 minutes today. We’ll now raise the issue during the session called on June 5,” Barrister Gohar said.
