Concerned over Nawaz's statements against judiciary, says Shafqat Mahmood

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Central Information Secretary Shafqat Mahmood on Thursday said it is concerning to see that a three-time prime minister is using words against the judiciary.

Speaking at a press conference, the PTI MNA from Lahore said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in his speech insulted the constitution and the institutions of the country. 

“Yesterday they threw leaflets against the judiciary from helicopters. They used the same tactics in the 90s by throwing fake pictures to malign late Benazir Bhutto,” Mahmood said. 

“When you are leading any movement against the constitution, in reality, you are attempting to sabotage the judiciary.”

The PTI leader also alleged that the main aim of the GT Road rally is to target the armed forces of the country.

“Their real target is Pakistan Army, they are trying to prove to the people that on the direction of the armed forces Nawaz Sharif has been disqualified,” Mahmood further alleged. 

“A campaign is being conducted against the judiciary as they are see more disqualifications after NAB investigations. Government officials have been assigned to make the rally successful.”

Mahmood also claimed that there is a feud going on within the Sharif family after Nawaz’s disqualification.

“Shehbaz’s wife, Tehmina Durrani, said that the GT Road rally has brought forth issues for her husband as the entire provincial state machinery is being utilised for the rally,” he added, 

“The differences within the Sharif family are quite visible.”
