Flamboyant by the shocked reaction
of Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan,
the joint opposition has decided to continue with their iftar dinners even
after the month of Ramazan until the government accepts their demands.
Leaders of the opposition
parties on Sunday announced their plans to launch protests in the shape of
Iftar parties inside and outside the parliament after Eidul Fitr while on the insistence
of Maulana Fazalur Rehman, these iftar dinners will be called All Parties
Conference and Iftar Dinners.
"Today opposition
leaders came to my house for this iftar-dinner, oh sorry All Parties Conference
and Iftar Dinners, and I am thankful that they came; tomorrow, they should arrange
such All Parties Conference and Iftar Dinners so that the fast-breaking
continues until we break the back of the government," PPP Chairman Bilawal
Bhutto-Zardari said after the iftar-dinner at Zardari House in Islamabad on
Sunday. The event was attended by several leaders, including a delegation of PML-N,
which was headed by, Maryam Nawaz says by her, while Hamza Shahbaz says, he
headed it.
"We have decided to hold
such iftar-dinner to discuss Pakistan's issues and eat pakoras,” Bilawal added.
Reacting to the iftar-dinner
by Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan the opposition had even failed
to arrange the iftar-dinner properly.
“I've got reports that dahi
bhallay were short in supply while Hamza Shahbaz got angry when he was not
offered lemonade (niboo panree),” said the delighted Dr Awan.
“Also, pakoras had a lot of
mirch, because of which no one ate them.”
She dared the opposition to
first arrange proper niboon panree and then start a protest drive against the
government. She said had the offshore drilling been a successful venture, she
would have sent a container of lemons to the opposition.
