ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader (PTI) leader and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday regretted that the ‘powerful mafia’ had the country into a banana republic where there is no rule of law, saying the “cabal of vested interest” was taking the country to the point of no return.
“No nation can progress until the rule of law prevails for everyone, he added.
Talking to the media persons here on Tuesday, Fawad Ch said that filing a sedition case against a Senator and ex-finance minister Shaukat Tarin was ridiculous and reprehensible which indicated that Pakistan had become a banana republic.
He started “if someone says that the agreement with the IMF is wrong in respect of Pakistan’s interest and we should prevent it from happening in every possible way, then the question is how it treason or rebellion”?
It was worth mentioned here that earlier Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that after completing the inquiry against Tarin, FIA had sought permission to arrest Tarin and the government has given permission to arrest him. On the other hand, Tehreek-e-Insaf leader (PTI) leaders are reacting strongly to the filing of a sedition case against Shaukat Tarin.
