Celebrities call out PDM govt over brutalities against Long March participants

ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has come out in support of the public over the ongoing political unrest in the country.

Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf’s (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has announced march on May 25, where he asked supporters to reach the capital Islamabad from their respective cities.

The 41-year-old lashed out at politicians and questioned why people have to suffer from political decisions. Hafeez mentioned all major leaders of the political parties and asked why a common man has to suffer from political decisions.

“No Petrol available in any petrol station in Lahore??? No cash available in ATM machines?? Why a common man have to suffer from political decisions,” Hafeez tweeted.

Famous actor and model Syra Yousaf tweeted a video of a young woman in Karachi carrying two infants amid shelling and aerial firing, putting the following tweet.

“This lady is at the protests with her one month baby and 1 year son in Karachi. She said if I don’t come out my future generations will suffer. She compared what was happening to Karbala,” she said.

Actress Samina Peerzada said tweeted that Pakistan didn’t learn from history. In a subsequent tweet, Samina Peerzada said that Imran Khan started the campaign alone but the people kept joining him and now it had become a caravan.
