Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Vice Chairpman Shah Mehmood Qureshi has called on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) to clarify its stance on the statement made by party leader Shehla Raza regarding a “silent clause” in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
Raza had reportedly claimed that under the NRO, it was guaranteed that there will be no military intervention in Pakistan until three general elections were held in the country. She had further said that United States, Britain, UAE as well as then ISI chief Ashfaq Pervez Kayani were guarantors of this agreement.
Qureshi, while speaking to reporters in Lahore, said Shehla Raza’s latest revelations were very serious and have caused a political storm. “I fail to understand this; she should explain herself further,” the PTI leader demanded.
Commenting on the specifics of the agreement, Qureshi mockingly questioned if the leaders who were part of the deal found it acceptable to have martial law imposed after the said third election was held.
