Although the army has made it clear that it wishes to avoid politics, Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal says that there is no issue if the army and the PTI have a conversation.
PTI founder Imran Khan should specify what he wants to discuss with the army, according to Ahsan Iqbal, in an interview with Voice of America, as he is encouraging the military to meddle in politics. Planning the May 9, 2023, demonstration outside GHQ in Rawalpindi has been admitted by Imran Khan.
He said that Imran Khan’s political approach is riddled with inconsistencies since he advocates for civil supremacy while also calling for military intervention.
The founder of the PTI intends to ride a horse up to the Prime Minister’s residence. The PTI directly attacks the interests of the Pakistani state, and no democracy can tolerate its kind of politics. He recommended that the PTI enter the national stream only after it has changed its conduct and shown regret to the country and its institutions.
Ahsan Iqbal stated that the PTI would have been prosecuted if a similar incident had occurred in the US on May 9, 2023, citing the 14-year term given to those responsible for the attack on the US Congress. With its current political approach, the PTI has no place in Pakistan, he said.
