Current system ‘a form of monarchy’: Imran
Online
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that Pakistan’s current democratic system is a form of monarchy where friends and relatives are being awarded. Khan said in a tweet on Saturday that Pakistan’s political elite never took merit as criteria, adding that the considerable criteria instead was nepotism and to reward personal relations and friendships. “Democracy remains quasi-monarchical in nature in Pak with Parl seats & public offices handed down from father 2 children/siblings/relatives,” he tweeted.
Khan also asked as to why Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif takes only Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif along with him on official foreign trips, adding that this creates a sense of deprivation among other provinces. “Question is why the PM only take CM Punjab with him on official foreign visits? This only adds to sense of deprivation of other provinces,” he tweeted.
