Pakistan’s opposition leader in National Assembly, Khursheed Shah threatened to protest if Article 245 is not withdrawn in Islamabad on Tuesday, Dunya News reported. Shah said that the government has accepted its failure by imposing Article 245.
Showing strong reaction to the enforcement of Article 245 of the Constitution, Shah termed it as mini-martial law which can lead to violation of basic human rights. The government must state the threats to the capital city, Shah demanded.
The National Assembly Session was presided by speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq. Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the opposition leader Khursheed Shah argued against the imposition of Article 245 by saying that the use of article 245 shows the government’s weakness. He questioned whether the Army has been deployed in Islamabad to halt the Long March. Has the government failed to provide security in the Federal Capital, Shah asked?
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has sacrificed lives of two leaders in the name of democracy, said Khursheed. He further informed that Asif Ali Zardari accepted his mistake of impositing of Article 245 in Lahore and we must learn from our past mistakes.
