LAHORE: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PAT) Chairman Imran Khan has
said that tyrannic system cannot be eliminated from the
country until the supremacy of constitution and law is
ensured.
In an interview with state-run news agency on Wednesday, the
PAT Chairman observed Nigeria would have been world’s richest
country if progress was possible without supremacy of the
constitution.
Imran Khan was of the view, “Though people gave revolutionary
response in the February 18 election with great expectations,
new coalition government’s objectives proved to be quite
contrary to their wishes.” Now the country’s affairs at all
fronts have reached to an alarming situation, he added.
He said, “The end of PPP-PML(N) coalition further disappointed
the people, and any instant solution to this aggravated
situation is impossible within days.”
The two major ruling coalition partners were pole apart on the
issue of judges restoration, he said, claiming that now there
is “lawlessness” in the country.
Imran Khan said that APDM had given chance to its two major
parties to form a democratic government but what, he added,
those politicians who don’t want the restoration of deposed
judges, negating the wishes of 80 percent people of Pakistan,
are not fair.
The PAT would go for a strike on August 31 for judges’
reinstatement, while a formal campaign in this regard would be
launched after the holy month of Ramadan, he said.
To a question, Imran Khan observed that PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz
Sharif should have parted ways with PPP much earlier than this
stage, citing it was an un-natural alliance because their
objectives and ideology were absolutely different.
To a query, he said that a large number of people rendered
homeless in restless Bajour Agency. Pakistan forces are
fulfilling their nefarious designs. “As military operation is
not in any way the solution of tribal dispute, it must be
resolved through mutual dialogue and consensus,” he suggested.
