PTI chief says Punjab has become a police state and police was being used to victimise political opponents
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has warned that the party’s next public movement would be “beyond the government’ control”, as he accused the government of dragging its feet over the formation of a judicial commission to investigate alleged poll rigging in the 2013 general elections.
While addressing a press conference at his Bani Gala residence on Thursday, Khan said that his party ended its sit-in at D-Chowk due to the Peshawar school tragedy and to give the government a chance in the greater national interest.
“We decided after the Peshawar tragedy to give the government time to fight terrorism,” said Khan before adding, “…if they did not rig the elections, they should form the commission.” The PTI will announce its new course of action once it is final that the government is not cooperating, he added.
Khan said there were discrepancies in the statements the government gives to the media and to the PTI.
He also announced to give a statement on the current petroleum crisis and other issues following the party’s core committee meeting on Friday.
The PTI chief alleged that Punjab has become a police state, where the force is used for victimisation of political opponents.
“…Haq Nawaz was shot dead in Faisalabad. A Joint Investigation Team was formed with three police officers who are the right-hand men of former Punjab law minister Rana Sanaullah,” he said. “How will he (Haq Nawaz) get justice.”
He added that former Punjab governor Chaudhry Sarwar has resigned as the land mafia in the province is more powerful than the governor.
Over indulgence in eating much too rich food is making Nawaz Sharif fat and lazy and this is also effecting his ability to think straight. Perhaps he needs a break from politics and spend time on a cruise in the mediteranian somewhere
