Opposing the new contempt of court law passed by the National Assembly, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday said the nation had been divided through the legislation, adding that the law was in violation of the Holy Quran and Hadith. Addressing a press conference flanked by Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Hamid Khan on Tuesday, the PTI chief said the new bill aimed at protecting new Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf. He said the government wanted to provide cover to its members so that they could plunder the national wealth and use it in the next general election. The government wanted its ministers to keep looting the country and the make the court unable to apprehend them, he added. He said the government would make noise on the pretext of democracy being in jeopardy if the court took action against their corruption. Khan said he wanted to tell the courts that they must strike down the “discriminative” law of contempt
of court.

  1. This is what happens when religion gets mixed with state.Using books such as Quran and Hadith for political motives suggest how astute a politician Imran has become.Same as the enlightened men who gave birth to such books.Jinnah must be turning in his grave today.

    • A religious hard liners' syndicate is working. This syndicate comprises of PTI, DPC, SC and the army. They are using holy books to gain public supprot for paving the way for DPC to takeover, IK is just a pawn in this game.

  2. Jinnah and gandhi both are smiling em damn sure @ashutosh same goes with your country too its another thing that your media is not highlighting your issues and every where is the same condition

  3. Imran khan has proved himself a non-serious politician while giving a juggler type statements like he will control over corruption in only 90 days etc. This time he has crossed the limits, such statement has not given even from any religious political personality.

    • Imran Khan has not commented on the dual nationaltiy bill. There is no doubt he has a red passport and does not want to touch on the subject.

  4. @Do dhaari.Religion is indeed mixed with state in India but,to a lesser extent.Thank God Gandhi didn’t play a role in building the constitution.Neither did he insist on making India a Hindu nation.Thats a different(and old) story though.The jokeresque statement made by Imran merely suggest he thinks emotions can be played upon,by invoking religion.Their,he is right.Despite being wrong otherwise.Therein lies the problem.It’s a do-dhaari talwaar.:)

  5. Accountability of the leader is an important rule of Quran and hadith. and this is an islamic state, like it or not. so yeah, he is right.

    • … The problem comes when you use religion selectively for political purposes. In Islamic state the judges are appointed and fired by the head of state and you have to pledge allegiance to the head of state and governors. Is Imran ready to obey Zardari who is I'll-al-amar of the time?

  7. Imran khan’s this statement shows that he has no knowledge of Quran and Hadit, he is mixing religion with dirty politics of Pakistan,

  10. Please Imran leave religion out of politics. Have we not sufferd enough under Zia. You will have your chance if you win through the ballot box.

  11. After Dr. Amir Liaqat i think Imran is the second greatest religious scholar to preach what is in accordance and what is against Quran and Hadith …………..

  12. he has no corruption record at all,,so better than all those who he criticises- so what is wrong? he wants a fair justice system and politics,,,it is not important to be perfect at all sides and aspects of life….

    • You are right Imran has no corruption record. The moment he gets elected people will get to know how corrupt he is.

  19. What's wrong with judging things by a value system we are supposed to live by in our daily lives? It teaches us morality and to discern right from wrong.

  20. Imran is right. From a Sharia law and English Common Law stand point, their can be no discrimination or favouritism before the law.

    If the NA tomorrow made murder by a sitting PM, President or Chief minister 'legal' would it be legal morally? Of course not!

  21. There are some interesting deaindles in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them heart to heart. There’s some validity however I’ll take maintain opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we wish extra! Added to FeedBurner as nicely
