Former federal interior minister Rehman Malik said no politician is entitled to contest the upcoming polls under articles 62 and 63 of the constitution for no one can fit the description of Sadiq and Amin.
In a news conference held at Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) secretariat on Saturday, Malik claimed the May 11 elections would be contested between supporters of pro and anti-Taliban groups, adding that pro-Taliban groups belong to the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).
“We held the constitution as well as the judiciary in high esteem during our five years of tenure and will respect them in the future also. Not a single political personality was jailed in our time,” Malik added.
Talking about PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, Malik claimed Sharif inked a 10-year agreement with former president Pervez Musharraf and went into exile and returned home in breach of the agreement.
The Election Commission of Pakistan should declare the PML-N chief ineligible because he transgressed the agreement and democratic norms, adding that the ECP was being negligent by not disqualifying him.
