Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari termed the arrest of Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani as an unacceptable and undemocratic attempt to dislodge the provincial government.
Bilawal tweeted, "Hum Baynami wazeer-e-azam ko baywardi Aamriat Qaaim nahi karnay dainga [We will not let a fake prime minister be a dictator without a uniform]."
"Attack on speaker of federating unit is [an] unacceptable, undemocratic attempt to dislodge Sindh govt. Failed before will fail again. Independent institutions shouldn't unwittingly be part of political engineering," he added.
