ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, and PML-N both have announced that they will be celebrating “Youm-e-Tashakur” (Thanksgiving day) on Friday all across the country– with PTI additionally celebrating”Youm-e-Nijaat” (Day of Deliverance) as well.
The decision came out after the Supreme Court announced the much awaited decision about the Panama scandal case yesterday.
According to details, special prayers will be offered by the party workers after Namaz-e-Jumma, all over the country.
“We are praying for the future of Pakistan,” said PTI spokesman Naeem-ul-Haq. He further said that they’re thankful that they can now see what they call the “beginning of salvation” from the corrupt and unjust system.
According to the spokesperson, they will also be distributing food among the poor on the holy day of Friday as a way of expressing their gratitude.
Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif narrowly escaped disqualification yesterday as majority judges of the five-member Supreme Court bench on Thursday ordered the constitution of a joint investigation team (JIT), to further investigate allegations with regard to the Panama Papers case.
Following the decision, PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique said that Nawaz Sharif, PML-N, their voters and all Pakistanis who are advocates of democracy had won.
“The order to create a joint investigation team is the victory of the PM’s point of view,” Rafique added.
Hasan Nawaz also thanked God for the decision, while talking to reporters in London.
Reacting to the Supreme court’s decision, the Prime Minister vowed to implement ‘in letter and spirit’ the verdict of the Panama leaks case and said that he had put himself before the court’s mercy and Allah made him successful.
Imran Khan, however is apparently perturbed about what the PML-N is celebrating.
I am still puzzling over what PMLN is celebrating? They shd be asking NS to resign. But this reflects complete moral collapse of our elite https://t.co/Qg0rAEqXSk
