LARKANA: Foreign Minister and Pakistan Peoples’ Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that they do not want to see dictatorship in judiciary and democracy.

Addressing an event in connection with death anniversary of PPP founder and former PM Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Larkana, Bilawal Bhutto said that fight for ‘Takht-e-Lahore’ will be disastrous for country. He said that constitutional crisis will be dangerous experiment for country.

“This constitutional crisis has put country on dangerous path. If it is continued in this way, then neither I nor Mian Sahab (Shehbaz Sharif) will be here. If Imran Khan thinks that he will stay here then it is his misunderstanding. It will be dangerous experiment.”

He demanded constitution of larger bench to end constitutional crisis. “You should summon whole court and schedule elections tomorrow. We are fully prepared for polls and Pakistan is ready to accept larger bench’s decision.”

“One-man show is going on in Pakistan’s judiciary. We cannot tolerate dictatorship on democracy, as well as, we do not want to see dictatorship in judiciary,” said Bilawal.

He said that former military ruler Pervez Musharraf had violated Constitution and Supreme Court legalised his move besides allowing him to amend Constitution. “It was our Supreme Court and it is part of our history.”

Bilawal said that Asif Ali Zardari had spent 11 years in jail without committing any crime and justice was not served to him nor has anyone sought pardon for injustice yet.

“Former CJP Saqib Nisar had ran election campaign of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. It is our Supreme Court’s history that Chief Justice collects dam funds and offers dissolution of cases if someone submits money to dam fund.”

Bilawal said that PPP is also demanding fair and free elections in country and it will not allow anyone to commit vote rigging in polls.
