Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has decided to participate in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)’s sit-in scheduled to be held outside Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday. Addressing a news conference Sunday, the PPP leaders Nayyar Hussain Bukhari and Faisal Karim Kundi said that Supreme Court of Pakistan has refused to constitute a full court for Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) elections that’s why PPP will participate in the protest outside Supreme Court.
Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that the nation needs a judiciary that makes a decision irrespective of their personal likes and dislikes, and who can work for the supremacy of law and constitution.
He maintained that when the PTI chairman Imran Khan was summoned before the court on May 11, he was an accused at that time. On what basis the Chief Justice declared Imran Khan’s arrest illegal?
Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that the Party’s leadership, parliamentarians and workers would participate in a sit-in organized by Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) in front of the Supreme Court of Pakistan on May 15.
Minister of State for Poverty Alleviation Faisal Karim said that today, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto Shaheed and Supreme Leader of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had signed the Charter of Democracy (CoD) aiming to end political victimization and work for the progress, prosperity and development of the country. He said that various points agreed upon in the CoD had been implemented. Today the country needs another charter of prosperity, he added.
Kundi said that on the request of PDM, the PPP leadership had decided to participate in the sin-in in front of the Supreme Court. He directed the workers of the PPP across the country including AJK to participate in the peaceful sit-in
Earlier, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) started preparing for a sit-in outside Supreme Court (SC), as political crisis intensifies in the country. The rally will go from Lahore to Islamabad to participate in the protest.
It is pertinent to mention here that the PDM head Maulana Fazl had announced a sit-in outside the apex court on May 12 after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was granted bail in several cases against him from Islamabad High Court a day after his release on the orders of a Supreme Court bench.
