Nation to foil conspiracies against SC: Pervaiz Elahi

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Pervaiz Elahi said on Friday that the nation will give a befitting reply to conspiracies against the Supreme Court (SC), ARY News reported.

Pervaiz Elahi alleged that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid Nawaz Sharif wants to launch the same scheme against the Supreme Court (SC) as his political party did in 1997.

He said in a statement that the time and circumstances have changed now and the nation will thwart all conspiracies against the judiciary.

He slammed the dual standards of the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) parties and said that they opposed every court decision against them and accepted verdicts in their favour.

Pervaiz Elahi further alleged that PM Shehbaz Sharif and caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi became a stain on Punjab. The global institutions had praised the development projects of my tenure, he added.

The former Punjab CM made the statement while meeting showbiz personalities including Syed Noor, Kamran Cheema, Haroon Waraich, Saadia Sohail Rana, Sumera Ahmed and others.

On Tuesday, former Punjab CM and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Pervaiz Elahi advised the federal government to conduct the mental examination of Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.

Pervaiz Elahi said that Rana Sanaullah kept raising slogans of “Maru ya Mar Jao” [kill or die] to challenge Imran Khan. He added that the government should conduct Sanaullah’s mental examination.

He said that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) is defaming honourable judges for its own benefit.

He lambasted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for criticising the honourable judiciary, saying that the premier should remember his past before launching criticism as he had allegedly forced judges to give verdicts in his favour.

The PTI president said that there is no conflict over the judiciary or the people protecting the Constitution, adding that it is usual to disagree on technical issues in any institution. He further added that all judges are equally respectable and protectors of the Constitution.
