Aitzaz questions use of force in Zaman Park

PPP leader says incident has raised Imran’s stature

LAHORE:

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan on Wednesday questioned the use of force in Zaman Park.

Speaking to the media, he said that the police also entered his house in Zaman Park.

“What was the need for a force of thousands?” he asked. “Were they firing from the front?”

“When you knew that Imran Khan was not at home, then you became a lion and broke the door of his house,” he remarked. “I say to all politicians, what happened to one today will happen to another tomorrow.”

He wondered how would it feel if this crowd reaches the elite. The caretaker government has no power to take such action, he added.

The PPP leader said that the incident has raised Imran’s stature.

“Maryam Nawaz and Rana Sanaullah are gifts for PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI),” he added.

“Imran Khan should be punished for what he did against the law,” he added.

Ahsan said that he would advise everyone to agree on a date and hold the election.

“Write down my words, elections will be held and must be held on the same date as given by the Supreme Court (SC),” he said. “The governor does not even have the power of revision.”

He said that the army commander would also give troops, and the interior minister will also have to deploy Rangers.

“On the day they are called by the Supreme Court, everyone will stand politely and cautiously,” he added.
