——– Labels it as a black chapter of Pakistan’s history
——– Suggests NAB should investigate Wheat crisis in Punjab
——– Terms May 9 was an orchestrated drama
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser asserted that contesting elections in the face of stolen public mandates held no validity.
Addressing to the Lahore High Court Bar Association, Asad Qaiser painted a grim picture of Pakistan’s current political landscape, decrying what he described as a “black chapter” in the nation’s history.
He alleged the stolen mandate in election casting doubt on the fairness of electoral processes, referring it injustice to constitution.
“The current situation resembles a law of the jungle,” Qaiser lamented, pointing to recent events such as the May 9 riots, which he claimed were misrepresented in the media to vilify his party.
He insisted for an independent commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, emphasizing the need for transparency amidst what he characterized as a “police state.”
PTI leader highlighted that there was a growing dissent among the public particularly in the province where discussions against the state were becoming increasingly prevalent. Asad Qaisar insisted that the party respect and honor the armed forces but armed forces must follow its constitutional role.
He affirmed that party was firmed to face the injustice and violence and demanded the release of PTI founder, party leaders and workers. Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser says farmers are in miserable condition in Punjab and it is utter failure of the provincial government.
Talking to media in Lahore, senior PTI leader said that NAB should hold an inquiry of the prevailing wheat crisis in Punjab.
“Punjab has become a police state. PTI won the Feb 8 elections across the country including Lahore but those who counted the ballots were more important than those who cast the votes,” Qaiser said. The senior politician demanded that the detained PTI workers and leaders must be released immediately. “The May 9 was an orchestrated drama and the people of Pakistan buried it on Feb 8 with the power of ballot,” he said.
He added that they will safeguard the constitution of Pakistan and will visit Karachi soon to meet the media and other stakeholders. The former NA speaker said that all the culprits of May 9 vandalism would be punished according to the law.
The senior PTI leader said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government isn’t getting funds from the centre. –Agencies
