Says ‘We are not ready to accept this oppression of the court’
Pakistan Democratic Movement chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Thursday rejected the possibility of holding negotiations with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan despite the directives issued by the Supreme Court a day earlier.
Speaking at a press conference, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F leader said: “Inshallah there will be no need for any negotiations [with Imran Khan ].”
During the presser, Fazl took a hardline against both the possibility of any negotiations with PTI and the Supreme Court.
Accusing the apex court of being partial to the PTI chief, the PDM head said: “If the Supreme Court can show flexibility towards Imran Khan, then why can’t they show flexibility towards us?”
In the hard-hitting conference, the PDM chief slammed the court of being partial in the matter.
He asked: “Is this a court or a panchayat?”
Maulana Fazl said: “The court wants us to agree on a date for the elections. According to the Constitution, it is mandatory to hold elections within 90 days, but if Imran Khan agrees on a date, then it is right.”
