President Asif Ali Zardari can be forced to resign but there is no constitutional method to compel him to step down, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday. He was talking to reporters after chairing a party meeting to discuss preparations for taking out a caravan in Gujranwala on January 20. He said the establishment had always played a covert role to influence politics and democracy. About the role of judiciary, the JUI-F chief said it was a powerful institution but court verdicts should speak instead of judges. “If the court’s decisions stand unimplemented, the best available option is to look towards the courts again,” he added. Indirectly hitting the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Rehman said that although Imran Khan was talking about bringing a revolution, but his sole agenda was to reach the corridors of power. He said that only seasoned politicians and religious parties could bring the nation out from crises. He said that he had sent a message to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and told him that the elections would be transparent only when fake voting list are removed and a neutral Election Commission is appointed.
