LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MPA Mussarat Jamshed Cheema on Thursday submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly demanding the federal government register a high treason case against PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for his ‘anti-Pakistan statement’.

In the resolution, Ms Cheema stated that Bilawal’s statement about the government’s action against proscribed organisations as ‘protective cover’ was no less than treason as it reflected the Indian narrative.

At a time when the whole world is standing by Pakistan for its narrative of peace, Indian aggression on Line of Control (LoC) and Kashmir issue, Bilawal’s statement was ‘no less than Indian rocket launcher’, the PTI MPA said.

Stating that every Pakistani is terming Bilawal’s statement high treason, Ms Cheema said Bilawal was playing the role of an Indian agent and that he had given anti-Pakistan statement for his vested interests.
