Face-saving deal with Imran Khan out of question: Fazl

KARACHI: The state will neither let marchers enter the federal capital nor it seal the face-saving deal with former prime minister Imran Khan, Pakistan Democratic Movement President Fazlur Rehman said.

According to a report, the JUI chief held an emergency press conference at his residence in DIK on Tuesday. He said “The courts are creating ambiguity instead of interpreting the constitution. Complications are also increasing due to arbitrary interpretations of the constitution by the judiciary. Decisions beyond the law are increasing confusion among the nation.”

Fazl described the PTI long march as a ‘wrong march’ and said the law will take its course over the matter. He added: “We can ensure unity and national security only through the supremacy of the constitution and the rule of law. Deviation from the constitution is the cause of all our problems.

The military leadership admitted that mistakes were made in the past and they are now paying with their blood. We agree with DG ISI Gen Nadeem Anjum’s viewpoint that the protection of national security and political and economic stability is not possible without the supremacy of the constitution.

He stressed: “We should recognize the Taliban government in neighbouring Afghanistan or go for Pak-Afghan intelligence-sharing to eradicate terrorism. Through negotiations, former TTP fighters should be allowed live like peaceful citizens.”
