Imran Khan's video unmasks PML-N's approach towards top court

The PTI chief says this is what they were saying when the SC verdict was disqualifying Yousaf Raza Gillani and now they are openly violating Constitution, the SC verdict and shamelessly trying to divide the SC bench to avoid elections just as they did two decades ago with Sajjad Ali Shah.

Imran Khan's video unmasks PML-N's approach towards top court

Islamabad: Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan strongly criticized the coalition government, especially the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders over what he said “open contradiction” in their statements about the Supreme Court and its judgments.

Imran Khan took to Twitter and shared an old video clip of a local private TV in which the PML-N leaders were making statements to back the Supreme Court and its judges over judgment disqualifying PPP leader Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani.

The PML-N leaders were heard saying that, “it is the right time to support the Supreme Court and the judges and should not indulge themselves in “ifs” and buts”. Khawaja Saad Rafiq, Ahsan Iqbal, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and others could be heard talking in the favour of the judges of the apex court for giving judgment against Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani.

Imran Khan wrote, “This is what they were saying when the SC verdict was disqualifying Yousaf Raza Gillani. Now they are openly violating Constitution & the SC verdict & shamelessly trying to divide the SC bench to avoid elections just as they did two decades ago with Sajjad Ali Shah,”.

The tweet from the PTI chief came at the moment when the PML-N leaders, especially Maryam Nawaz, Khawaja Asif, Rana Sanaullah, Malik Ahmed Khan and others were criticizing the judges of the Supreme Court for giving judgment about elections in Punjab.

The Supreme Court last month ordered to hold Punjab elections on May 14—a date which is a week far from now—but the situation reflects totally a different picture as the chances of elections in compliance of the top court’s orders seem quite low.
