LONDON: Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has said that he doesn’t see any place in Pakistani politics for former prime minister Imran Khan after orchestrating 9 May violent attacks on Pakistan Army installations.

Speaking to the media in London, Tessori said that the events of 9th May — involving Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) attacks on Jinnah House and other military areas — had jolted Pakistan and set a new course. The governor said that 9th May was similar to the Peshawar Army Public School attacks and both events had united the nation against terrorism.

Tessori, who is in London on a private family visit, said: “The elements involved in the 9 May attacks are left behind and the nation has come on one page. No decent and civilised society allows the destruction and arson of its important national places such as the residence of Pakistan founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, mosques and core headquarters; people don’t burn their police stations in the world, these people burnt down their Core headquarters and attempted attacks on military installations. After all of this, I think there is nothing left for Imran Khan in Pakistani politics.”

The Sindh governor also advised those still part of the PTI to, “Think of Pakistan first and then the leader. The nation comes first, no harm in following any leader but not at the cost of Pakistan.”
