LONDON, August 5(ABC): Federal Minister Mian Javed Latif of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) gave its ruling per the law and the Constitution of Pakistan against the party of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan who he called the ‘Corrupt Khan’.
The PML-N MNA said while talking to the media after he met his party’s supremo, Nawaz Sharif in London on Friday.
“It is quite unfortunate that a reference is being filed today for the people who should have been disqualified for life a long time ago. And, the one, who should have never been disqualified, who put the country on the path of progress and who made the country’s defence invincible, has been disqualified for life,” said the federal minister.
“The youth of Pakistan aged 18 to 25 have clear understanding of who served Pakistan and who brought about the devastation in the country.”
Latif said the federal government, keeping in view the public aspirations, was taking up steps to execute the ruling of the Election Commission.
“People of Pakistan want to see Nawaz Sharif back in Pakistan,” said the minister. “Nawaz Sharif will not leave his nation alone. He will go back to Pakistan. I see Nawaz Sharif serving the people of Pakistan in the next few weeks.”
“I will welcome Nawaz Sharif in Pakistan,” he added.
Latif said that a sea of people would welcome Nawaz Sharif on his homecoming.
The PML-N leader also raised a question about the lifestyle of Imran Khan. He said, “How does he have a luxury lifestyle, given that he is not doing any sort of business ever since his birth?”
He said the chief election commissioner of Pakistan (CEC) has done a great favour to the nation. It’s because his ruling established that Imran Khan was a ‘dacoit’ and a ‘traitor’, though everybody knew it already, he added.
