Punjab Assembly (PA) Speaker Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said on Tuesday that PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s relationship with the army was on the mend.
He expressed these views during a press conference in Lahore. Asked whether Imran’s relations with the army were improving, he replied in the affirmative before adding: “It is happening, which is why they will sit together. It is obvious that the biggest stakeholder with Imran is the army and the judiciary.
“Justice is being given by the judiciary and Khan sahab is praising them now. Was justice not provided by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP)? Their turncoats were all de-seated.” Questioned on whether he would advise the army to stand with either the government or with Imran, Elahi said the army had always stood by Pakistan and exhibited restraint and tolerance in the face of criticism by politicians.
“They have to do their work, it is their duty to protect our borders and they have always participated in relief work,” he said, adding that he would continue supporting the army.
