ISLAMABAD: Reacting to the Supreme Court’s “relief” to PTI Chairman Imran Khan a day earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that “such double standards have caused the death of justice in Pakistan”. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that the Supreme Court’s relief to former premier Imran Khan was nothing but an NRO
Addressing the federal cabinet, he recalled the arrests of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and other members of the federal coalition, asking which such leniences were not given to them. “No one spoke to Nawaz about injustices suffered by him.”
Addressing the federal cabinet, he said: “If you want to keep favouring this ladla then you should also release all the dacoits behind bars in the country.
“Let this be free for all,” the premier stated, contending that the consequences of whatever followed next will be borne by everyone.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that PTI protesters have disrespected the martyrs of the country in a way that was not even done by “our enemies”.
“The attacks on army installations there can be no greater terrorism in the country,” he said. “And seeing all this, a country, I don’t want to take its name, was celebrating that what couldn’t happen in 75 years is now happening in Pakistan.”
PM Shehbaz has lamented the violent protests that erupted following PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9, saying that such scenes were not witnessed since the fall of Dhaka during 1973.
He recalled that even after the death of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto protests had erupted but no one “moved towards military installations”.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has raised questions about the court’s silence during the “political victimisation” of the PML-N and its leaders during the PTI tenure.
“Did they [the courts] ever take notice when we were being sent to jail?” he asked.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while addressing the federal cabinet, has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan and his party are “liars”.
Referring to Imran’s claims regarding the US conspiring to oust his government, the premier said that in more than one National Security Committee it was concluded that his allegations were false.
