The PPP on Saturday said the cipher saga was a drama staged for personal political gains that had led to the May 9 events, as senior party leader Sharjeel Inam Memon blasted the PTI founding chairman for his actions. “Don’t make the nation’s villain a hero,” the PPP leader said and added that the real political leaders had spent years in prison and faced much tougher situation, but didn’t compromise on their principles.
He said that the parties using their constitutional right were declared traitors by using the cipher drama and the youth had been misguided – a reference to the tactics used by the PTI leadership before and after passage of no-confidence motion.
PML-N unhappy over SC remarks in cipher affair, says episode was used to violate Constitution Memon said they had great respect for the top court judges, but expressed his reservations over the remarks passed and observations given by the three-member bench which granted bail to the PTI founding chairman and the then former foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, he rejected the impression that the PTI former chairman was an important political leader and reminded media persons at a press conference in Karachi how he had been installed through the manipulated elections in 2018.
