The  Minister of State for Communication Murad Saeed has stated that It’s the time to establish that calls for protest shouldn’t be taken as a license to destruction. During two days of protests, he added, the property of National Highways was damaged all over the country.
“Billions will now have to be spent on repair works. We will identify these miscreants and bring them to justice”, he vowed. He said it is commendable that the protest leadership has distanced itself from those who created havoc in the garb of protests.
Even though electronic media was in a complete blackout, a number of social media clips showed the TLP-led Protestants went all violent, destroying everything they got their hands on, torching vehicles, blocking roads and vandalizing public and private property.
