Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President, Senator Sherry Rehman, has called on Imran Khan to stop making excuses and issue an unconditional public apology to the nation for the events of May 9.

Rehman criticized Khan’s inconsistent stance, stating, “It cannot be that one day you admit to calling your supporters to protest outside GHQ and in cantonments, and the next day you demand CCTV footage before apologizing.” She further pointed out the contradiction in Khan’s statements, noting that while he denies his party’s involvement in violent protests, he also acknowledges that PTI workers used petrol bombs during the Zaman Park protests.

Rehman highlighted that PTI leaders and officials were seen leading the May 9 protests across the country, and that evidence of PTI’s violent demonstrations was broadcasted on media screens nationwide. “Isn’t that evidence sufficient?” she questioned.

She concluded by stating that the entire PTI leadership bears responsibility for inciting their supporters, leading to the unrest on May 9.
