Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar has once again offered talks to the opposition and has advised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to approach the courts against disqualifications.
Speaking in the National Assembly, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar said that the opposition should sit with them to run the assembly, improve the environment and make laws, saying there were also instructions from the Prime Minister in this regard.
He said that the Criminal Law Amendment Bill has been pending for seven months, and no one was ready to sit. The Criminal Law Amendment Bill benefits everyone, politicians and ordinary citizens.
The Law Minister, while responding to the PTI Chairman, said that Barrister Gohar’s words are related to the court, he believes in the supremacy of law, criminals are punished according to the law, and this was not the forum for May 09 cases.
Azam Nazir Tarar advised PTI to approach the court after the decision of the Election Commission. Jamshed Dasti was given relief by the High Court; the matter has to go to the courts, and the courts will decide.
Speaking in the National Assembly, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Barrister Gohar has said that people in all four provinces of Pakistan and Islamabad protested vigorously in favour of the founder of PTI, Imran Khan, and the government’s behaviour is becoming undemocratic day by day.
Barrister Gohar Khan said that our senior politicians were put in jail, PTI had won 180 seats in the elections, and we were given only about 90 seats. He further said that opposition leaders in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub, Zartaj Gul and Jamshed Dasti and other leaders were disqualified; the disqualification of our members is against the law and against the constitution.
The PTI Chairman said that the Election Commission does not have the power to disqualify in this way. According to the constitution, the constitution and the Supreme Court’s decision were ignored in this process.
Barrister Gohar said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was put against the wall, and our voice was suppressed everywhere. He clarified that we have always condemned May 9, we want democracy to flourish in the country, but acts of revenge are on the rise.
