\u2013Says absconder Nawaz making country\u2019s biggest decisions from London
\n GUJRAT
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the absence of rule of law is the main root cause of all problems being faced by Pakistan.
\nAddressing PTI long march rallies in Gujrat and Kamalia through video link, he said the appointment of the next chief of army staff (COAS) must be made according to merit.
\nHowever, he said that those in power had not done anything on merit and questioned if they would rightfully select the army chief on merit. \u201cThey want their own army chief because they want to steal.\u201d
\nPTI Chairman Imran Khan lashed out at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and premier Shehbaz Sharif. \u201cThe one [Nawaz] who looted country for the 30 years will make decisions about army chief\u2019s appointment, elections date and caretaker setup,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cNo one can even imagine that this can happen in a civilised society because rule of law prevails there.\u201d \u201cShehbaz Sharif had met his older brother \u201clying absconder\u201d Nawaz Sharif in London to discuss the appointment of the next army chief.
\nWill a man wanted by the Pakistani courts and a prime minister who is involved in a money laundering case be allowed to select a general for the country, he said? He feared that Mian Nawaz Sharif would suggest a person who would later help him in settling his cases.
\nHe added that PM Shehbaz was brought into power through a conspiracy. He added that Nawaz Sharif has never made any appointment on merit. The ECP Chief is their servant, they do whatever they want using him, he added.
\nPTI chief Imran Khan also called on the nation to participate in the party\u2019s long march for future generations. He said that nations seldom had the chance to change their fate but said that now was the time for Pakistan.
\nImran Khan alleged that the \u201cthieves\u201d had come into power because of their \u201chandlers\u201d. \u201cThere is murder of morality in this country,\u201d he said, adding that such things don\u2019t occur in civilized countries.
\n\u201cThese thieves have only one other achievement apart from their corruption, they managed to slowly finish their cases,\u201d he said, adding that they had wreaked havoc in the country. He went on to say that a country is unable to prosper when it forgets its morals.
\nHe stated that this scenario could never occur in any civilized country as rule of law prevails. He lamented that the corrupt were not facing the consequences as there was no rule of law in Pakistan.
\n\u201cI can\u2019t get a first information report registered as an ex-prime minister because a powerful person is in it,\u201d he said. He added that he strived for two years for EVMs, which could eradicate 90% of rigging in polls but they ended the project because they want to rig elections.
\nThe former PM while raising question on presence of pictures of slain journalist Arshad Sharif said that his mother is not being provided the postmortem report despite repeated demands.
\n\u201cI knew the plan. The plot was prepared in September,\u201d Khan told his supporters, without presenting any evidence for his claims. \u201cThe march will just get strengthened after this incident.\u201d
\nKhan has described the shooting as an \u201cassassination attempt\u201d and blamed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for being behind the attack.
\nKhan was ousted in April in a no-confidence vote in Parliament, but he says his removal was unlawful and a conspiracy by his political opponents orchestrated by the United States, a charge denied by both Washington and Sharif.
\nKhan\u2019s protest convoy started from Lahore two weeks ago with Khan and thousands of his supporters \u2013 in trucks, cars or on foot \u2013 marching toward Islamabad for what was to be an open-ended rally until his demands were met.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
