ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said there are no winners or losers today.
Admitting that situation was tensed, Nisar said “Today Pakistan has won; It is a win for our children’s futures, and for institutions in this country.”
“Pakistan’s win is in peace, democracy, rule of law and reliance on our institutions,” he said while addressing to a press conference in Islamabad.
The Interior Minister said as a political worker “we respect Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s decision postponing lockdown call of federal capital.”
Nisar said many Prime Ministers came and went away respect can only be availed through character.
Criticising Chief Minister Khayber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak, he said CM KP was coming to set wrong traditions.
He also apologises with masses for hurdles in their daily routine life during past a few days.
“I am aware of the ‘mehman nawazi’ of the Pakhtun people,” he said. “And we did not stop you when you protested in F-8 park.”
“But would you open your doors to a ‘lashkar’ trying to lockdown Peshawar?” he asked PTI supporters who attempted to march into Islamabad. “You adopted an incorrect policy,” he said.
The interior minister pointed out that Islamabad High Court’s Justice Siddiqui, who ordered the PTI to hold it’s planned protest at Islamabad’s ‘Democracy Park’ a day earlier had ruled against the PML-N on various occasions, “but we never lost faith in institutions.”
The PTI said on Monday it would challenge the IHC order in the Supreme Court as he is related to an adviser of the prime minister.
The Interior Minister also appreciated Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Siarjul Haq for his stance over rejecting any bid to shatter nation on linguistic basis.
