Azma accuses PTI of ‘hypocrisy’

LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), accusing the party of hypocrisy.

She said that those who once defamed judges and their families are now attempting to present themselves as staunch supporters of the judiciary. The approval of the 26th Constitutional Amendment has brought joy to proponents of democracy, while its opponents are enraged.

The so-called “Fitna Party” is inciting students and lawyers for its dirty politics, she remarked, responding to a statement by Barrister Saif. Azma Bokhari said that today is a victory for both democracy and the parliament.

The PTI, she claimed, is no longer a legitimate political party but has devolved into a group of political orphans. The people of Pakistan have already seen the true face of the prisoner from Adiala Jail and his associates.

The public is now wiser and will not be misled by the tactics of “Fitna Khan.” The minister also highlighted that the name of Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa will be inscribed in golden letters in the annals of judicial history.

She praised Chief Justice Isa for making all his decisions in strict accordance with the Constitution and the law. She went on to commend Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his team for their efforts in passing the 26th Constitutional Amendment, saying that they deserve recognition for their role. Everyone who contributed to this process is worthy of praise, she added. The strength of democracy lies in the supremacy of the parliament.

She concluded by stating that those destined to complain and obstruct will always attempt to create hurdles to constitutional amendments and lawmaking. Yesterday was a “surprise day” for the prisoner of Adiala Jail as well.
