Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Ali Muhammad Khan on Tuesday denounced the recent events in and outside the parliament, likening them to an attack on democracy comparable to the events of May 9, 2023.
Speaking during a National Assembly session, he condemned the arrests of PTI lawmakers, declaring that September 10 will be remembered as a dark chapter in the history of Pakistani democracy.
“Article 6 should be imposed on those who attacked parliament,” Khan stated. He further asserted that democracy, Pakistan, and its Constitution were attacked when masked individuals took lawmakers away from the parliament premises.
Ali Muhammad Khan clarified that his concerns were not solely for the PTI, but for the broader cause of democracy in Pakistan. “Today, my proposal is not just for PTI’s founder; it is for democracy,” he added, underlining the gravity of the issue. He further said PTI Founder Imran Khan was fighting his own case.
He further narrated that PTI leaders Sahibzada Shafqat, Aamir Dogar and Sheikh Waqas Akram had sought refuge in the Parliament House last night, but Maulana Naseem was picked up from the mosque.
