The PML-N has accelerated its efforts to pressurize the Supreme Court, the PTI leader alleged, adding the PML-N is harassing judges in order to pressurize them.“ The National Assembly speaker is an obstacle in our return to the house. Bhutto’s Constitution has been occupied by the Zardaris,” Qureshi added.
He further said that under the current political circumstances, the 1973 Constitution that the PPP was proud of, was being tainted.The PTI leader said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif invited all stakeholders for talks from the floor of the Senate. After saying that to save Pakistan from a political turmoil, everyone will have to sit and talk, he says they will not talk to Imran Khan, Qureshi remarked.The PTI has decided to intensify its contacts with other parties in the wake of a stand-off with the government over elections to the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies, and the meeting with GDA is a part of that campaign.Qureshi says he will convey the message of PTI Chairman Imran Khan to the leaders of GDA, which is in the opposition in the National Assembly.
He further told the media that the party’s Karachi President Imran Ismail has invited the GDA leadership for Iftar today.Pir Pagaro and other leaders will participate in the Iftar dinner, Qureshi said.
