PTI, 'a rope around corrupt politicians’ neck': Hashmi
People of Pakistan have declared PTI as the only chance of survival, says Hashmi.
MULTAN:
Senior politician and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi said on Wednesday that his party will be like a “rope around corrupt politicians’ neck.”
Speaking to the media in Multan at an honourary dinner organised by the PTI for journalists, Hashmi said that the nature of politics is changing in Pakistan and old political leaders have no understanding of it.
“People of Pakistan have declared PTI as the only chance of survival,” he added.
Government and NRO
Hashmi accused the government of calling parliament supreme on one hand and ignoring its decision against the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) on the other hand.
“Government had brought NRO to the parliament from the Supreme Court (SC) just to legalise their corruption,” he said.
The PTI leader reiterated that the government should obey SC orders and respect the supremacy of law.
Hashmi also alleged that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was using parliament to protect himself from the corruption charges but “he will fail because the entire nation was standing with the SC."
“Even resigning from his post would not get him out of this situation,” he added.
Hashmi said that the current standoff between institutions is a result of disobedience on the government’s part and refusal to uphold the constitution.
By-elections
Talking about the upcoming by-elections, the PTI leader said that his party would not contest because “fake voters’ list will be used in these elections.”
“We need transparent elections with a genuine voters list,” he said.
