Confrontation with constitutional institutions is regrettable : Ch Shujaat

Lahore : PML-Q President and former Prime Minister Ch Shujaat Hussain has said that the trend of defeating constitutional institutions through confrontation is highly stupid and the rulers declaring “indication of corruption” as conspiracy against democracy is regrettable.

In a statement issued here today (Friday), he said that due to corruption of the ruling family, Pakistan has been isolated in the international community to the extent that even our friendly countries are avoiding contacts with the government. During visit of Saudi Arabia of the Prime Minister, heads of all Islamic countries avoided coming face to face with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif although some heads of the countries were staying in the rooms adjacent to his room.

He said further that the government has been practically rendered inactive and the Prime Minister House instead of running the affairs of the state has become centre of “Corruption Bachao Tehrik” (Save Corruption Movement).

Ch Shujaat Hussain said in the prevailing circumstances, a responsibility devolves on the senior political leadership of the country that brushing aside differences in order to pulling the country out of crisis they should exert pressure on Nawaz Sharif to resign forthwith.

He said in this respect for consultation, Pakistan Muslim League will establish contacts with leaders of all factions of Muslim League and leadership of other national parties.
