Senator Pervaiz Rasheed, who served as Federal Information Minister lashed out at state authorities over allowing people from the Fourth Schedule (of counterterrorism law) to contest the Elections.
The Senator lamented that those responsible for the Peshawar and Mastung attacks are roaming freely but 10,000 policemen were deployed for the arrest of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who had come to surrender with his daughter voluntarily. He said 16,000 political workers were arrested during the crackdown ahead of Sharif’s arrival, 99 per cent of whom belong to the PML-N.
“What are the state's priorities?" he asked, adding that the state has decided whom to suppress and whom to support. “There is a need to change these priorities," he warned.
"Where do our enemies find the person willing to wear a suicide jacket?" Rasheed asked. "Who has fostered this narrative? Was it Nawaz Sharif or Benazir Bhutto who made policies to bring such people into parliament?" He was referring to notorious hatemongering Deobandi takfiri ringleaders of banned militant outfits.
Addressing the state, he said enough blood has been spilt in the country and there was a need to "change your philosophy".
"No citizen can claim to be safe even in their home. Perhaps the state's priorities are somewhere and the people's interests lie elsewhere."
Speaking in the upper house of Pakistan’s bicameral parliament, he warned that no candidates from mainstream and peaceful democratic parties could be expected to run peaceful election campaigns in the presence of fourth schedulers of banned terrorist outfits.
“Be afraid of the day when those people will be present in this house" he warned.
