ISLAMABAD: Former federal minister and senior politician Muhammad Ali Durrani has said that Imran Khan has saved Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) from the ills of dynastic politics by nominating a well reputed person from the middle class.
“Khan has defeated his rivals who are the custodians of dynastic politics in the country even before the general elections,” Durrani said while talking to Pakistan Today.
He said that Barrister Ali Gohar Khan’s nomination as chairman of the PTI has actually endorsed and opened the doors for reconciliation.
Durrani, who also served as Federal Minister for Information, has recently proposed the formation of a national unity government, said that Barrister Gohar was highly educated, well-reputed lawyer and a noble person who hails from the middle class.
Senator Durrani said that all leaders within the PTI and beyond respect him. By entrusting the responsibility of the party chairman to a qualified individual, Imran Khan has initiated the process of making the party a political institution, he asserted.
The former senator said that Imran Khan, by relinquishing the party position through the party pledge, has presented himself before the court for accountability. “In these circumstances, It is the responsibility of state institutions to ensure level playing field for candidates of the PT,” he said.
Congratulating Barrister Gohar on being elected as the PTI Chairman, Senator Durrani said that Imran Khan, deserves appreciation for the bold decision through which he has “clean bowled” the old guardians of dynastic politics in the country.
“Dynastic politics is as serious threat to democracy as was May 9 incident,” Senator Durrani concluded.
