ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmakers while maintaining their stance against Operation 'Azm-e-Istehkam,' argued that country cannot sustain more military operations for stabilisation.

Speaking outside Election Commission Pakistan, PTI leaders reiterated their opposition against newly approved military operation.

They argued that military operations would disproportionately impact Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan."Investment isn't coming because there's no rule of law," they claimed, challenging necessity of military action.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan called for immediate justice and release of former premier Imran Khan and other party members. He condemned their re-arrests as human rights violations."When justice is delayed, it is also injustice," he stated, demanding PTI Chief's immediate release. Gohar said that party protested from Parliament all way to ECP during today's budget session.

"This isn't just walk of 180 parliamentarians, but of 30 million voters," Gohar maintained. "Our protest will continue until all our members are freed," he affirmed."Any decision must be brought to house. This country cannot afford any operation for stability. Stability requires rightful representation in assembly," he said declaring party's firm stance against operation.

He highlighted that PTI conducted three intra-party elections in last 18 months, contrasting with other parties. "We will not accept double standards in this country," they said.
