PTI leader Fawad Chaudhary Tuesday laughed off Nawaz Sharif’s statement that long marchers were no more than 2,000 and that the PTI’s demands should be given a deaf ear.

“If we are so small in number then what is there for them to be scared of, anyway?” Fawad said addressing a press conference with his party peer Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

“If we are just 2,000 then let us come to Islamabad. Why are they shaking in their shoes?”

Mocking at an exiled elder Sharif, Fawad said his younger brother (Shehbaz) was in power and the three-time former prime minister was not coming home. “When Prime Minister Shehbaz’s own family doesn’t trust him then how will investors do. “You will have to bow down to the people of Pakistan,” Fawad said.

Meanhwile, PTI stalwart Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the government was trying to make the long march look negative. “PTI workers and citizens are not going to shed blood and are advancing peacefully,” Qureshi said. They were campaigning with all their might that PTI was an adversary to the army, Qureshi said adding those who were now playing the sentinels [of the institutions] had been badmouthing about the establishment [in the past].

“Word has it that a new press conference is coming up. Imran Khan has said that these press talks are not going to harm him or the party, but the ones who will address it,” Qureshi said.
