MULTAN:
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.
