LAHORE: Leader of the opposition in the national assembly Syed Khursheed Shah Tuesday accused Imran Khan for creating division in the opposition by organising shows single handedly.
Talking to media persons here Syed Khursheed Shah said that Imran Khan was treating politics as children play. He said the announcement of lockdown by Imran Khan divided the opposition.
He said the PPP did not go to the court because it has experience of cases there. He said in politics no one should move in hurry and try to take every one along. He said the PPP drafted the TORs and took the entire opposition along. He said the PTI had pledged to launch a joint movement if Panama bill was not approved in the parliament.
The opposition leader said Imran Khan has no experience of politics and his actions have strengthened the hands of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He regretted that he (Khursheed) was being dubbed as friendly opposition.
To a question about retirement of COAS, the opposition leader highly lauded the innings played by General Raheel Sharif. He said the COAS took the army command in difficult times and started war against terrorism, which he termed as a courageous decision. He said the army fought the war against terrorists bravely who were killed and pushed back. He said there is need for continuity in the actions of the army. He also recognised the sacrifices by the army in fight against terrorism.
Khursheed Shah said it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister to appoint new Chief of Army Staff but cautioned that the country would suffer if decisions of General Raheel Sharif were reverted.
