Former Supreme Court Bar Association president and rights activist Asma Jahangir on Wednesday cautioned politicians not to ‘cut the branch they are sitting on’.
She expressed these views while talking to media on Wednesday. Asma criticised politicians who have spoken against the state institutions, advising them that mudslinging at the institutions would take the biggest toll on them.
“If the state institutions are dysfunctional then elections should not take place,” she maintained.
Asma Jahangir asked if institutions were not present in the country then what were the political parties are doing, adding that if that is the case ‘then Imran Khan should also quit politics and go home.’
She said that the country’s biggest political investors carried ‘pocket unions’. The time of pocket unions has passed and those elements should act sensibly now,” she added.
