He said the only person to be blamed for Khan’s downfall is Khan himself. It has to be decided by parliament and that is the only way Pakistani democracy can be strengthened when civilians take their own space… it will ease the army out of politics,” he said. The fate of Pakistan can’t be decided on the streets. “When he should have been the leader of the opposition, he left parliament. “The only way that change can come would be with democratic forces and civilian institutions such as parliament to take their place within Pakistani society and exert themselves,” he added.īilawal said Khan paid very little attention to parliament when he was the prime minister. Such an attack has never been carried out by any political party in the history of Pakistan and now those who were involved in these attacks on our military installations must face the consequences of the law of the land,” he added.īilawal said his party does not believe change can come by attacking military institutions but rather by strengthening democracy. “The Corp Commander House in Lahore, the GHQ in Rawalpindi and many military installations. He said the majority of Pakistanis are deeply offended by the actions that took place on May 9 where Khan encouraged his supporters to attack army installations. “As far as the army’s popularity as an institution is concerned, the PTI supporters may be upset with the Pakistan Army for not violating the Constitution and supporting Khan,” he said. “It is an established fact that he was brought into power through a rigged election in collaboration with some former officers of the Pakistan Army.” Responding to a question about the army’s popularity after May 9 events, Bilawal said the majority of the people of the country want the army to remain apolitical. The foreign minister said that former-cricketer-turned politician’s rise to power in 2018 is well-documented. “Khan’s political history is that he has supported every dictator and he supported every autocrat in Pakistan’s history,” he said. He said Khan, however, supported every dictatorship in Pakistan, including the last dictatorship of former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf. My party, the Pakistan Peoples Party, has challenged each and every single dictatorship in Pakistan’s history.” “More than half of our history has been covered by military rule. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman’s issue with the army is not that they’re involved in politics his problem with the army is they’re not getting involved to support him, he said.īilawal said that the role of the army in Pakistan’s politics cannot be denied. “Khan’s problem with the Pakistan Army began in April of last year when it declared that it would not get involved in politics and would not take sides,” Bilawal told Qatar-based Al Jazeera news channel on Saturday. Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that deposed prime minister Imran Khan is not against the army’s interference in politics but is upset with the powerful establishment only because it is no longer supporting him, according to a media report.
