Opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah Friday urged the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to stand firm in defence of democracy and the constitution.
“If any government is toppled by force, the ruling party doesn’t die but it remains alive,” Shah said while speaking in the National Assembly.
The opposition leader said that the political parties defended democracy by rendering sacrifices.
“Benazir Bhutto safeguarded democracy and the constitution by sacrificing her life,” he said.
He said that the protesting parties, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek, are playing a game of terror in the name of democracy.
“If the protesting parties want to set the parliament on fire they can do it…but we will not allow them to torch the constitution,” Shah said.
He urged Inter Services Public Relation (ISPR) to clarify if the army chief met the protesting leaders on their wish.
Shah said that all political parties will stand steadfast to ensure supremacy of the constitution, the parliament and to strengthen democracy.
He said it is unfortunate that a bad impression was created about the position of the government on the issue, while it is a matter of satisfaction that the interior minister has removed this impression.
Khurshid Shah said the government should allow these undemocratic protesters to storm the parliament and destroy the state institution, so that they could be exposed before the nation of 200 million people with their ulterior motives.
Mahmood Khan Achakzai said that the fight to defend democracy has entered the decisive stage and we will continue struggle in this regard.
He suggested that the joint session of the parliament should be summoned to address the issue.
