Islamabad High Court<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn his address Prime Minister criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for the unrest that engulfed the nation following the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case and said ”harsh action will be taken against state’s enemies.”<\/p>\n
The prime minister strongly criticised the PTI in his address to the country, labelling the party members’ acts “unforgivable crimes.”<\/p>\n
The prime minister said that Pakistan’s political past had been “very bitter”, political vengeance has never produced positive outcomes.<\/p>\n
Shehbaz Sharif said, under the PTI administration, federal ministers used to discuss specific charges brought against political opponents, and former premier Imran Khan used to foretell arrests.<\/p>\n
Not only political rivals, but also family members and close friends, according to PM Shehbaz, were not pardoned.<\/p>\n
According to PM Shehbaz, “all evidence” in the AL-Qadir Trust case against PTI Chairman Imran Khan is in place.<\/p>\n
He questioned how the PTI cabinet was kept “completely in the dark” about the situation and claimed that the National Accountability Bureau is conducting the probe based on the facts.<\/p>\n
“How could it be a cabinet decision when it involves 60 billion rupees from the national treasury?” he added.<\/p>\n
The “real role” and duty of political leadership, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is to prevent their employees from crossing legal lines when being arrested.<\/p>\n
“As political workers, we are unable to express joy over any arrest. We have really lived through a painful period of life, he remarked.<\/p>\n
However, he claimed that via their activities following the former premier’s detention, the PTI and party leader Imran Khan had committed the “unforgivable crime” of hatred against the state.<\/p>\n
The prime minister urged “terrorists and elements who are enemies of the state” to stop their “anti-state activities” right now, threatening harsh punishment for the “miscreants” if they didn’t.<\/p>\n
“They’ll receive an example-setting punishment.” he added.<\/p>\n
The PM said “we will not permit anyone to conspire against the protection of the state and ideology of Pakistan, which is more precious to us than our lives.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
