March on Islamabad: PPP should have used 245 against Nawaz, says Gilani
It would have been better to use Article 245 when Nawaz Sharif had marched on Islamabad for the so-called independent judiciary, said former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
“To march is the constitutional right of PTI and to use such dictatorial tactics against PTI is the acceptance of weakness by PML-N,” the ex-premier said talking to The Express Tribune in Multan.
“I was given the same advice during lawyers’ movement when their march to Islamabad was joined by Nawaz, but I did not invoke Article 245,” he reminded.
PML-N has pitched army against the people. However, Gilani said, the people and the military establishment will join hands against the conspirators because Pakistan comes first for both.

No one should doubt that he has a very living hindsight; but foresight is what the Prime Minister should have Sir, Gillani A.D.

but he did use article 245 unofficially. Didn't he ask the army chief to intervene and convince Nawaz Sharif to call off the march?
Nawaz Sharif is committing the same mistakes thru which in 1999 his government was removed and creating the reasons to not to complete his tenure......
