Tsvangirai threatens to pull out of GNU

The Honerable Morgan Tsvangirai has threatened to pull out of the inclusive government if his party supporters continue to be victims of political violence.

Speaking in this weekend, the Premier said he would soon convene an emergency council meeting to decide whether or not to stay in the inclusive government.

Some districts are witnessing and increase of political violence

Last week the party’s ward chairman in Zaka, Nelson Bvudzijena, was injured when his house was petrol bombed. He was taken to the St Anthony’s Musiso hospital were the MDC leader paid him visit.

Tsvangirai also accused ZANU PF leader Robert Mugabe of being a hypocrite, who denounced violence by day and promoted it by night.

He told his supporters that his message to Mugabe is that they cannot pretend to be working together when violence is taking place, adding that he would confront Mugabe and tell him to ‘shape up or the MDC-T will ship out.’

He continued: ‘I am going to call an emergency council meeting to see if it is worth it to continue in the government of national unity. Shall we continue to turn a blind eye when my supporters are being tortured, when diamonds are being looted?’
