\nThe Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is willing to play a role in Parliament but the government is not ready to make a serious commitment in this regard, claimed former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
\nThe PTI leader made the remarks while reacting to Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari\u2019s statement against PTI chief Imran Khan.
\nBilawal, addressing a gathering in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh held to mark the 15th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, asked the PTI chief to return to parliament as neither he nor his party \u201ccould bear\u201d what\u2019s coming to them.
\nIssuing a statement, Qureshi said that the PTI is ready to play a parliamentary role, but the government is not announcing a date for general elections.
\nAddressing the PPP chief\u2019s charge against Imran Khan, the PTI leader said, \u201cThe establishment is apolitical. How can we contact them?\u201d
\nResponding to Bilawal\u2019s statement urging the PTI to rejoin the parliament, Qureshi said that Bilawal could not invite the party to join the parliament as it is the prerogative of the prime minister.
\nCensuring Imran Khan, Bilawal said that it was the final warning to the puppet \u2014 a clear reference to the PTI chief \u2014 to return to parliament and join the NAB and elections reforms.
\nThe PPP chairman said that he does not want the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to be used against Imran Khan.
\n\u201cTherefore, you [Imran] should come back to parliament. Otherwise, we will not be in a position to prevent them from doing what they do,\u201d he warned.
\nReacting to Bilawal\u2019s remarks against PTI and Imran Khan, senior leader Fawad Chaudhry called the PPP leaders \u201cthe puppets of the establishment\u201d.
\nTaking to Twitter, the PTI leader said, \u201cThe puppets of the establishment set up a farce at the mausoleum of Benazir Bhutto today.\u201d
\n\u201cZardari and his son dealt such a deep blow to Benazir\u2019s philosophy that her assassins could not eliminate Bhutto but they managed to fulfil the mission of Benazir\u2019s adversaries by abolishing the federal status of the PPP,\u201d he tweeted.
\nAccording to Fawad, the country currently has only one federal party and a single leader which is PTI and its chairman. Imran Khan\u2019s call is being heard across the country, he said, adding that his call is resonating from the mountains of Chagai to the Khyber, and from Lahore to Karachi. \u201cPolitical dwarfs cannot survive in politics solely by delivering phoney speeches,\u201d he underlined.
\nHe alleged that Zardari and Bilawal sponsored assaults on the Constitution. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
