QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal has asserted that the rule of law reigns supreme in the United Kingdom and not the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The statement came while addressing a press conference in Quetta on Saturday night. He was responding to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s comments that he was willing to go to the United Kingdom if the need arises for Nawaz Sharif’s deportation.
Ahsan Iqbal further said that the PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif would return only when he was medically fit to do so. “The Opposition stands united under the umbrella of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM),” he added while talking about Quetta’s power show.
“After only two power shows of the 11-party alliance, PM Imran Khan was already talking about elections,” he said, adding that the government aims at having PDM’s October 25 rally in Quetta fail under the pretext of security threats. The PML-N leader claimed that tomorrow’s power show would be the biggest in Quetta’s history.
The Quetta jalsa is the third anti-government power show of the Opposition. The first and second rallies were held in Gujranwala and Karachi, where the Opposition had slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan over his “failed” policies.
Earlier, the Balochistan government had urged the PDM leadership to delay its October 25 jalsa in Quetta, citing security concerns. “Terrorists are targeting political leadership in Balochistan,” said Liaquat Shahwani, the Balochistan government spokesperson.
