LAHORE: Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) former President Asma Jahangir has said that people’s acceptance of General (r) Pervez Musharraf and General (r) Raheel Sharif’s departure has proven people’s desire for a civilian government.
“People have not shed tears on the departures of Raheel Sharif and Pervez Musharraf. This is a clear sign that people want change,” she said while talking to the media outside Lahore High Court (LHC) Friday.
She stated that the establishment had unintentionally awakened political consciousness in PML-N while also persuading the people of Punjab to vote for a civilian government.
The people have proven through their votes that they did not want to side with the establishment, she added.
Law and constitution are there in the country and, therefore, it is essential that every institution remains within its ambit so that the supremacy of the state could be established, Jahangir remarked.
