Former federal minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf leader Khwaja Muhammad Khan Hoti has warned the government that if it takes any step against the judiciary, his party “will come out on the roads and will throw the rulers out of their luxurious palaces”. Addressing a press conference at Peshawar Press club on Thursday, Hoti said, “Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani is conspiring against parliament because he wants to be martyred but I want to tell him is that after ruling and looting the country for four years , one can’t be martyred.”
Hoti said the army should be under the Defence Ministry but the government should also obey the rule of law and the Supreme Court. “If the Supreme Court orders the government to write a letter to the Swiss government and the president and the PM clearly deny the decision and say that we will not write the letter, then one can imagine who is conspiring against democracy,” he said. During the press conference, TV Artist Ejaz Mir announced joining the PTI.
