Will stand by Constitution and Parliament, says Khursheed Shah

ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Khursheed Shah in a fiery speech pledged to stand with the Constitution and Parliament like a brick wall.

Shah hoped that the resolution in support of the democratic system would be implemented by Parliament. Shah told Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to stand firm and not compromise on democracy and the Constitution.



“We have sacrificed our leader and fought for democracy in the country,” Shah said.

The opposition leader praised the role of the Pakistan Army and said they were called to Islamabad under Article 245.

In reference to the government’s claim that PTI chairman Imran Khan and PAT chief Tahirul Qadri had sought meetings with Army chief General Raheel Sharif, Shah said the ISPR should issue a clarification regarding who had called for these meetings.
