Islamabad, Apr 20: Pakistan opposition has blasted Imran Khan-led government over its failure in handling Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protest across the country. The Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that "shedding of human blood and incitement to violence was never the answer to any situation", recalling that history had taught that "violence begets violence."
Bilawal has questioned the govt that, "The real fight is about fighting against the root of the festering problem, not in just responding to the symptoms. Why has the selected govt not bothered to implement the National Action Plan, or even discuss arising challenges in parliament?" He condemned the violence and expressed grief over the deaths of the TLP workers as well as policemen during clashes earlier in the week, which he said occurred because of the govt's "inability to handle the situation peacefully."

Bilawal said the state was responsible for protecting the lives of its people and the govt's failure to do so had resulted in dragging the country into "unprecedented chaos and anarchy, exposing both the population and state to risks that are incalculable". Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Secretary-General and PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi also "strongly condemned" the violence.
