After emerging a new political cum judicial situation in the country, the ruling alliance of 13 parties, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman refused to hold talks with PTI Chairman Imran Khan and said if the Supreme Court (SC) is becoming a clear party, then come into politics.
According to the 24News HD TV channel, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) Ameer Maulana Fazlur Rehman addressed a press conference in Dera Ismail Khan and said if there is an attempt to impose decisions by coercion, they (the government alliance) will go to the people.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said if they [SC judges] can summon them (the government-allied parties), then Parliament can also call them [SC judges].
He said the authority under which the SC is showing bullying is no longer its authority. He added that the SC has to clarify its position as to what role it is playing.
The PDM chief said the court is making the one [Imran Khan] an 'axis of politics' who should have been disqualified for politics.
Fazlur Rehman added that all this is happening to protect one person only but it should be remembered that they will only accept justice, not oppression.
He also said that flexibility can be shown for Imran Khan, so why not for them?
He said they will not hold talks with Imran Khan as they don't consider Imran Khan to be able to talk.
He said they want to remove him from the political sphere because this person has already said that if he gets a simple majority, he will dissolve the assembly so there will be no negotiation.
PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman categorically stated that no one can interfere with the powers of the parliament.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman told the media men that it is being said to them (The government) to talk to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan and agree on the date of the election.
Why they go into negotiations with Imran Khan, PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman raised the question of whether is he a court or a panchayat.
The PDM chief also clarified their position that how can they appear in front of the court bench which has already been distrusted?
He also refused to accept any pressure or oppression and said coercion will not work.
