Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) parliamentary leader in the Senate and senior leader Senator Irfan Siddiuqi said that the ruling party was not worried about the decisions rendered by the judiciary.
“The culprit misuses concession of long delay (Dheel) and make it a shield,” Senator Siddiuqi said during an interview with a private TV channel.
Talking about acquittal of PTI leaders, the Senator said that their cases were pending for more than a year and when such concession is offered it is misused as a shield by the perpetrators.
“Problem with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is that the party does not restrict itself to political role and transgress and violate national security,” said Senator Siddiqui.
He said that president Asif Ali Zaridari spent 10 years behind bars and former prime minister Nawaz sharif has been to jails and was forced to leave the country but they always played their political roles. Their political role was to keep the Establishment out of political affairs but PTI was bent upon dragging it in the politics, he said.
The PTI attacked GHQ, Corps Commander House, Qila Bala Hisar and more than 200 other places, where they vandalized properties, desecrated martyrs’ memorials and torched air force planes. “This is no politics,” the Senator said.
“Comparing himself with Sheikh Mujeebur Rehman and releasing the video asking who is the traitor is another May 9,” he said. Statements of PTI leaders speak volumes that their stance on May 9 has not changed and have now started building a new narrative that it was a “false flag operation” pointing finger at the army for being behind the riots, he said.
If May 9 was a false flag operation, then why are PTI leaders seen everywhere in the riots? Who was heard talking about attacking the GHQ and Corps Commander House? the senator questioned.
The PML-N Senator said that Imran Khan did not bother to open Hamoodur Rehman Commission report during his four year’s rule and is raising this issue now with a malafide intention. Recommendations of the report were never implemented in last 53 years, he said.
