Talking to media outside the parliament house, the minister said: “We welcome the decision of PTI Chief to appear before the courts for redressal of complaints and hoped this time Imran Khan would not take a U-turn on his decision.”
“It is a positive sign that Imran has decided to appear before courts and Pakistan is a civilized country and no one is above the law,” he added.
Pervaiz Rashid said PTI chief Imran Khan’s decision to approach the courts is a positive
development. He said PTI chief’s decision would now provide a chance to the government to present its point of view in an effective way to prove Imran was wrong.
He said the government could not respond befittingly to Imran Khan’s allegations on container while the court will provide the government a chance to give its response.
He said PTI chief Imran Khan’s decision to go to Supreme Court is a positive indication but accordingly PTI should also come to parliament which is the supreme law-making institution of the country.
Pervaiz Rashid said it was the parliament which gave the constitution and made several laws. “If the PTI chief’s proposed laws would be valid and logical these will be passed by the same Parliament and all political parties would extend their support.”
He said PTI chief Imran wants that only his allegations should be accepted without any rebuttal and if any one tries to respond to those allegations he uses un-parliamentary language against him.
He regretted the language used for Chairman for Privatization Commission Muhammad Zubair. He said such allegations were also levelled against former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry by Imran Khan. Later, Imran Khan also accused journalists of compromising their conscience.
