ISLAMABAD: Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), announced the observance of Constitution Protection Day on Friday.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman while addressing a press conference here on Wednesday said that if the Constitution is not respected then the existence of Pakistan will be questioned. It is the responsibility of our institutions to play their role for the protection of the Constitution.
The PDM chief said that fair elections could not be expected from the unconstitutional measures of the government. How is Imran Khan sitting and working in the Prime Minister’s House? How is Imran Khan calling bureaucrats and giving instructions?

Fazlur Rehman said that a dictator does not violate the Constitution as ruthlessly as Imran Khan who was born from the cradle of dictatorship has created a constitutional crisis in the country through recent measures.
He said that the Supreme Court had taken suo motu notice which was a correct step. The ruling of the Deputy Speaker should be declared null and void on priority basis and the members of the assembly should be given the right to exercise their vote, he added.
The PDM chief said that the entire nation should celebrate the coming Friday as the day of protection of the Constitution of Pakistan.
Earlier on Monday, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, head of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F, had said that the security agencies need to clarify their position.
Addressing a press conference, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that it is not enough for them to just state that we are neutral. Our institutions have to think about the consequences of such accusations against the loyal leadership of Pakistan and pushing them towards treason?
“Which way this country will go, we want the security agencies to get out of the public debate, it should not be discussed,” he said.
He said that the letter was presented in a wrong way.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the court should also give an immediate verdict on this constitutional violation and it should not be delayed for days.
