ISLAMABAD, July 7(ABC): PTI leader Shireen Mazari on Thursday asked the “handlers of this government” what their “eventual aim” is.
She was speaking to journalists after a meeting of the judicial commission tasked with probing her arrest in May.
While briefing the media on her views regarding the current political situation in the country, the former human rights minister said: “This message should go to the handlers of this government – the sovereignty and security of Pakistan is of utmost importance. Was giving them (current rulers) an NRO the objective of the regime change?”
“It seems so because we see one NRO after another in cabinet decisions. They have only come to get an NRO. They are deliberately destroying the economy to weaken the country which is what the US wants and so this is where their interests converge,” Mazari continued.
The PTI leader said that the institutions whose task it is to defend Pakistan “should defend it rather than work with the imported government to destroy Pakistan”.
Pressing on, she added: “So what is your eventual aim? Do we wish to accept Israel, trade with India, forget Kashmiri lives lost? Or do you wish for Pakistan to get back on the strong, independent, sovereign track that Imran Khan had put it on?”
“On the say so of the US you did a regime change and halted this progress and put Pakistan on the path to destruction, the path that saves these NRO-seeking corrupt people.
“Please think about this again,” she said.
PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has continued to insist that his removal through a vote of no-confidence was a “regime change conspiracy” due to what he says is his “independent foreign policy”.
