ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said that the verdict of the judicial commission had serious lessons for both Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). “There is no need to be joyous as the verdict of the commission has serious lessons for both PTI and PML-N,” Nisar told media after ground-breaking ceremony of a 500-bed hospital in Wah. The minister said parliament was the appropriate forum to discuss political issues. The national and public issues cannot be solved on the streets; these can only be addressed through consensus and unity, he said, and added that all the political forces and the state institutions should work in unison to resolve issues. The minister said that the verdict of commission was based on facts, and not on any report.
The report has proven that judiciary takes into account facts and not theories. The verdict is based on facts and evidences provided, and not on rumours and media reports,” he maintained.
To a question, Nisar said that Rangers had been given special powers in Karachi under the law. “The Rangers are performing duties in Karachi as per constitution and law.”
