Pakistan has never witnessed supremacy of constitution: Qadri
The current government is corrupt and is responsible for rigging, he said.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – In his first joint address from Imran Khan’s container, Dr. Tahirul Qadri addressed the protesters by saying that the protesters were fighting for the supremacy of the constitution, and these people stood with those who adhered to the constitution, but today’s joint parliamentary session was indeed a violation of the Articles 18 and 213 of the constitution.
Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr. Tahirul Qadri said that if those in parliament had done no wrong then they also had not violated the constitution by their acts. He added that the parliament has never successfully implemented the law and constitution of Pakistan in the country, which explains why the government is blind to articles of the constitution that go against their interests of self-preservation.
Qadri said that the same politicians have ruled Pakistan for 41 years but now in alliance with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chair Imran Khan, they would uproot corruption from Pakistan by upholding the values of the constitution. He added that a treason case is filed against those who want the supremacy of the constitution, whereas the judicial commission has found Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif guilty in the Model Town incident, but he did not resign like he had committed.
Qadri further said that PAT and PTI workers were not responsible for attacking the state owned broadcast channel PTV, and perhaps, the government had sent goons in disguise to attack the building. He added that army became part of the negotiations upon the government’s request, and the government’s claims were misleading the public.
