Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari advised the PTI to “not make matters worse” and to call for an end to violent protests in the country following the arrest of ex-premier Imran Khan.

“Their reaction is completely unjustified. It is violent and has created a situation in which serious conversations need to be had. But the only advice I can give to PTI is that what you have done is done, those who were involved will have to give answers.

“Now, don’t make matters worse [and] call for an end to violent protests and declare that you will abide by the rule of law and Constitution. Accept that you were will engage with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as citizens and not as terrorists,” he said while speaking at a press conference in Karachi.

“What has happened, has happened. Don’t make things more difficult for yourself.”
