ISLAMABAD: Members of PTI and Sunni Ittehad Council demanded that the military leadership take the Parliament into confidence while announcing that they will not support any operation.
After the walkout from the National Assembly, the leaders of PTI and Sunni Ittehad Council held a press conference. Barrister Gohar said that for any operation, it is necessary to take the parliament into confidence, no matter how big the committee is, the parliament is not supreme, according to the constitution, the parliament is supreme, like before, this time also the military leadership came to the parliament. Given the camera briefing and taking it into confidence, we walked out of Parliament in protest at not being allowed to speak.
Asad Qaiser said that we cannot support any operation in any way, such a big decision is being made and the parliament is not being taken into consideration, the opposition is not being consulted, it is not being taken into confidence, the defense minister is just sitting there. There have been many operations before, which operation was successful till date? We want peace but are against all cruelty, you are conducting operations on one side and taxing Fata Pata on the other side.
Opposition leader Umar Ayub said that Parliament should be taken into confidence on any kind of operation, important people from China came yesterday, they have also expressed concerns about the security of CPEC, there will be rule of law in the country, only then. Peace will come in the country, you cannot bring peace in the country by hitting people with sticks.
