The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) leadership lambasted on Wednesday the incumbent government, asserting that there “prevails no democracy” in the country.
Expressing his thoughts, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said: “The lawlessness continues to dominate in the country for a while.”
“Khawaja Sheraz had been picked by unknown people, which we condemn,” he added.
Khan maintained: “The special committee of the parliament has done nothing for the protection of the lawmakers. How a parliament, who himself is not getting protection, will raise voice for the betterment of the people?”
Meanwhile, expressing his thoughts, PTI leader Sheikh Waqas Akram said: “Every NA member is facing the same experience.”
“A group of rulers are not ready to accept the supremacy of the law, constitution and democracy in the country,” Akram said.
'Banana republic'
Earlier, PTI senior leader Asad Qaiser on Wednesday accused the incumbent government of running a “banana republic”.
In a video statement, the former National Assembly speaker said, “Is this possible to live under the rule of jungle?" The masses are facing hardships to eat bread twice a day.”
He took a swipe at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, saying, “Is this the democracy on which both Nawaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari claim to believe? These two [Nawaz and Bilawal] have harmed the country.”
“The country is unfortunately leading towards anarchy,” averred Qaiser.
He maintained: “It is the masses of the country who are having a real power.”
