PTI believes in supremacy of constitution and law: Shah Mahmood Qureshi

PTI believes
  • PTI leader said, “We are the bearers of the constitution and the law.”
  • He said PTI  give cease-fire message to Govt and after consultation.
  • He said PTI approached IHC and LHC against police action .

LAHORE: Former federal minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that there is an attempt to put the country in such a situation that it will be difficult to resolve.

Talking to the media outside the Lahore High Court, Vice Chairman PTI has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is a party that believes in the supremacy of the Constitution and the law.

He said, “We are the bearers of the constitution and the law and want to protect the fundamental rights that are being violated, so why would we violate the constitution and the law.”

He further said “If the police want to comply with the court order, they should tell us because the address written on the court order is of Bani Gala, so it is not Bani Gala and the main mistake is that you take the court order. You have come to Zaman Park while you should have gone to Bani Gala.”

Shah Mahmood Qureshi has described the scene of the previous day and said that since now when the police have come to Zaman Park, PTI give them a cease-fire message and after consultation with the party chairman, we will find a way that will not cause any loss of life.

PTI leader said that the police agreed with him and when he reached Imran Khan for consultation, law enforcement agencies started shilling, and the situation that arose after that was in front of everyone.

He said, “Government is bent on making the situation worse and we have decided that we will take the legal route for which we have gone to Islamabad High Court and Lahore High Court.”

He further said that the PTI petition is currently under hearings in the courts and the party would like the judiciary to decide and find a way that will ensure legal compliance and also avoid the danger to life and this is the mischief of the caretaker government.

The former federal minister said that yesterday when Imran Khan was in contact with the international media, he kept shilling shells in front of him for the world to see and even today all the bullet shells found have been collected and the media can see what the situation is made.

Mueeb Butt & Farhan Saeed denounce police abuse on PTI’s workers at Zaman Park

Mueeb Butt
  • Police are currently at Khan’s residence Zaman Park in Lahore to arrest him
  • Khan’s fans have assembled to pursue “genuine freedom.”
  • Actor Muneeb Butt and Farhan Saeed expressed their anger on the scenario.

Pakistan is undoubtedly experiencing the worst of times, plagued by political unrest, a slowing economy, and inflation. The already terrible scenario is further compounded by the police attempts to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Lahore. As police officers are currently at Khan’s residence Zaman Park in Lahore to arrest him on suspicion of two arrest warrants charging corruption and “terrorism,” Khan’s supporters aren’t dissipating despite being shot at with tear gas and water cannon.

Millions of Khan’s fans have assembled to pursue “genuine freedom,” using anything from physical force to cause commotion on social media platforms. Everyone, from commoners to celebrities, is speaking up. Lollywood actor Muneeb Butt said, “Imran khan’s Arrest today! Blatant fascism at it’s peak.”

Farhan Saeed also took to Twitter to express his anger on the situation saying:

“Qaum ke sabse pasnadeeda aur maqbool leader ko apni qaum se door rakhne wale sun lein, aisa kurne se app is qaum ko hamesha ke liye ek hajoom bana deinge !

Woh aur baat hai ager app chahte hi ye hein , lekin Allah ne is qaum ka muqadar kuch aur likha hai iA !”

The mess started on April 10, 2022, when the former prime minister was removed from office by a no-confidence vote in parliament. In response to his calls for an early election, Khan alleges that the government wants to arrest him in order for him to be disqualified from future elections.

Pakistani stars condemn police violence in Lahore’s Zaman Park

Zaman Park
  • Pakistani stars spoke against the brutality of police in Zaman Park.
  • They spoke in favour of PTI’s supporters.
  • Imran Khan supporters’ protest rally faced harsh brutality.

In an unexpected outcome, Punjab police used water cannons and tear gas on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members to disperse Imran Khan supporters’ protest rally in Lahore’s Zaman Park. Ali Bilal, a fan of Khan, was killed while other people were detained for breaking the government’s ban on conducting protests.

Lollywood celebrities have spoken out about the anarchy that is currently enveloping one of Pakistan’s biggest cities due to political instability, while the internet erupts in fits of wrath and millions of people condemn the terrible acts, branding them nothing but fascism. Between the ruling party and the opposition, Pakistan had seen numerous political crises.

Imran Khan, the then-prime minister and current leader of the opposition, was deposed by a no-confidence vote in Parliament in April. Khan has argued that his removal was unlawful multiple times and has demanded early legislative elections. Shehbaz Sharif, Khan’s replacement, has, however, rejected any requests.

Celebrities like Farhan Saeed, Shagufta Ejaz, and Reema Khan have denounced the brutality local police have displayed towards PTI supporters. Farhan Saeed, an actor and musician best known for his role in Suno Chanda, tweeted: “What’s happening at #Zamanpark is disgusting , embarrassing and dangerous. It’s turning into a jungle and no one is stopping, in fact everyone seems to be part of it . What does a normal citizen supposed to think ? who just wants his country to progress? Who hijacked us & when?

Shagufta Ejaz, a renowned actress, also tweeted in favour of PTI supporters and in opposition to police abuse:

Renowned actress Reema Khan also lost her cool after seeing the atrocities the Lahore Police had inflicted on the populace.

Imran Khan had originally intended to launch his party’s election campaign in Pakistan’s Punjab province, which has the most residents, and the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province from the Lahore rally today, but he has since cancelled the event.
