ISLAMABAD
\nFederal Minister Javed Latif has said nobody will be allowed to blackmail the state institutions.
\nAddressing a news conference in Islamabad on Saturday, he said we will defend the institutions which are working in accordance with the constitution. He regretted the allegations hurled by PTI Chairman Imran Khan without any evidence in the wake of Wazirabad incident.
\n \u201cThere will be no one to remember Imran Khan\u2019s name once the court announces its judgment\u201d, Javed Latif said. He criticized Imran Khan for violating law and constitution and said, \u201cPopularity doesn\u2019t mean that someone is above the law and constitution\u201d.
\nHe said Imran Khan had been playing havoc with the country and by so he had exposed his real face but \u201cviolation of law and constitution of the country is not tolerable at all for the government and the people\u201d. He said patriotic people in the country and its institutions believe that the state could not run without the supremacy of constitution and law.
\nThe government had been working tirelessly for the last six months to bring investment back into the country but PTI leadership was trying to thwart these efforts by creating instability in the country which was unacceptable for any patriotic citizen, Javed Latif said.
\nThe handlers of PTI were terming Imran Khan as their red line but \u201cState is the red line for the 220 million people of Pakistan\u201d, he said.
\nThe PML-N leader said the video release of the accused statement, Imran Khan\u2019s act of hurling allegations at state institutions and individuals, Fawad Chaudhry\u2019s attempt to instigate public for violence and revenge, and attack by PTI workers on the sensitive building were the actual conspiracies against the state.
\nJaved Latif condemned the attack on PTI long march and said the continuous blaming of state institutions by PTI\u2019s leadership was more condemnable than the incident. \u201cImran Khan has failed in his efforts to malign and divide the institutions\u201d, he added.
\n\u201cPublic will know how Imran Khan is playing with their sentiments to gain political mileage through blaming state and its institutions once the results of the investigation will go public\u201d, he said.
\nHe said those who were providing patronage to Imran Khan must realize that since his launch in the year 2011, the country had been facing severe unrest and destabilization. He said that Azam Swati and Shahbaz Gill get relief despite speaking against the state institutions, however, former deputy speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari, who faced PTI\u2019s revenge, was still in the custody of Punjab government and no one was raising voice for him.
\nJaved Latif said those who were threatening Rana Sanaullah with their intentions to take revenge should know that the whole party was standing behind him. \u201cWe are silent in the larger interest of the state and its people but will not allow anyone to blackmail the institutions\u201d, he said.
\nHe said only 2937 people came out for protest on call of Imran Khan, burnt tyres and attacked people\u2019s houses under the leadership of PTI in two provinces.
\nIt was the responsibility of the government to make those accountable who were blaming state institutions without any evidence.
\nTo a question, the PML-N leader asked for probing into the Imran Khan\u2019s claims of his connections in agencies and army. \u201cWho can be in contact with the person who malign state institutions\u201d, he asked. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
