LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that
even though his party and the people of Pakistan want to get rid of the
present government, PTI would never accept any undemocratic and
unconstitutional step by the army to remove the government.
Talking
to the media at his residence, Khan said that the present confrontation
between the institutions was unfortunate but the Pakistan Peoples Party
(PPP) pushed itself into it, so that they can get sympathy votes in the
upcoming elections.
PTI media advisor Shafqat Mehmood said that
the Supreme Court is as supreme as the parliament and no institution is
less significant than others. “The PPP just wants to become a political
martyr,” Mehmood said.
However Mehmood said that he doubted if
the military will takeover. “I think the situation would eventually
fizzle out and I don’t see any signs of a coup,” the PTI media advisor
said.
Earlier PTI Chairman Khan welcomed former PPP leader
Khalid Kharal and former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) provincial
leader Inamullah Niazi along with former PPP provincial minister Shah
Nawaz Cheema from Gujranwala into the PTI fold.
“I pledge to
work for the implementation of Quaid’s vision in the country. The
current political system has become rotten and the political parties
have turned into dynasties,” Khan said.
The PTI Chairman further
said that his party has gained momentum on its own and those who say
that it is supported by the security agencies, are themselves the
creation of the agencies.
Khan said that at the moment, his party was busy organising itself for the upcoming elections. Online
