LAHORE: Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday that Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif were on the “wrong side of history”.

He made these remarks during his appearance in an anti-terrorism court in a case registered against him.Chaudhry mentioned that the cabinet meeting would deliberate on banning the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

He said that anyone siding with Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari would not survive in politics in the future.Speaking about PTI founder Imran Khan, he said the 14-month-long illegal incarceration of Imran Khan did not achieve anything for the government, as people voted for the PTI without the party having a symbol for the polls.

He warned the government against rampant human rights abuses, which may lead to anarchy. “The world is watching everything happening in Pakistan, where even court orders are brushed under the carpet,” he cautioned.Underscoring the need for strengthening the judiciary, the former minister said people should obey court orders.

He also criticised those maligning the armed forces from abroad, cautioning that it wouldn’t do them any good.” The PTI is not spreading digital terrorism; anti-Pakistan people are involved in it. We have to bring stability to Pakistan, which isn’t possible without Imran Khan being in the saddle,” he concluded.
