Imran is accused by the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of “undermining” democracy.
The politics of the PTI chief, according to him, are aimed at bringing him to power at any cost, including undermining the foundations of institutions. Pakistan stands on.
Shehbaz Sharif, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, lashed out at Imran Khan, the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Sunday, saying that Khan wants to return to power “even if it means undermining” the democratic system of the country. Khan was recently deposed as Prime Minister of Pakistan.
The statements made by the Prime Minister come only one day after Imran bemoaned the fact that the coalition administration had turned down his offer to talk.
Shehbaz wrote in a tweet today that the PTI chief’s “recent diatribe against parliamentary democracy is the latest in a series of attacks that fly in the face of how democracy functions in modern nation-states.” He went on to say that the PTI chief’s comments “fly in the face of how democracy functions in modern nation-states.”
In addition, he stated that the former prime minister’s “politics are aimed at forging his way to power even if it means destroying the pillars our country stands on.”
In response to Imran’s offer of holding talks on the condition of announcing fresh general elections, the federal government had earlier told the PTI chief that threats and an offer of dialogue could not go hand in hand. This was in response to Imran’s offer of holding talks on the condition of announcing fresh general elections.
The government is reportedly “not willing” to hold discussions with the PTI.
On Friday, the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) appeared to be striking a conciliatory tone as he signalled his openness to “sit and talk and give a date for the general elections.” This came after the PTI chief had previously hardened his stance on the possibility of talks with the leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
On the other hand, at the same time that he made the offer, he made a threat to dissolve the assemblies of both Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).
The invitation that he made to have talks with the government seemed to signal a break from the strong posture that he had adopted during his massive rally in Rawalpindi on November 26.
On the other hand, the next day, when addressing members from the K-P through a video link from his residence in Zaman Park in Lahore, Imran bemoaned the fact that the coalition government had rejected his offer for discussions and instructed lawmakers to “start preparing for elections.”
Fawad Chaudhry, a senior party official, recently informed his fellow members that the party would first compete in elections in the provinces of Punjab and K-P after the former prime minister gave them this piece of advise.
