LAHORE: Addressing a joint press conference with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chariman Imran Khan, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chariman Tahirul Qadri announced his intensified support for PTI’s candidate in NA-120 by-poll.
Speaking about former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification, Qadri said that the Supreme Court (SC), being the highest authority over the constitution, disqualified Sharif for his violation of the constitution. In a reference to the speeches held in favor of Sharif inside the parliament by members of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), Qadri said that they had no right to question SC’s verdict.
Following Qadri’s comments, Imran said, “The government has lost all sense of right and wrong”.
Talking about the Model Town incident, Imran again condemned the brutality of the police in that incident and said that he would support Qadri in the legal battle to get justice for the victims.
