Nawaz, Imran should get justice before polls: Javed

LAHORE: PMLN leader and former federal minister Javed Latif has said Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan should get justice before elections.

Addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club here on Thursday, he said if anyone was guilty, he should be punished. What happened on May 9 cannot be forgiven, the plant of democracy should be nurtured, but nurturing the plant of May 9 will be wrong and there should be no forgiveness for the May 9 mastermind. “When we talk about the Constitution, it is said there is no due process,” he said, adding that President Arif Alvi should have written a letter of shame on the attack on the PTV. Today it is being said there was not a level-playing field. The president is giving speeches, but the level-playing field was that a date should be fixed for the pending cases of Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan and they should get justice before elections.

He said the impression was being given that Nawaz Sharif was going to form a national government. “We will form a national government to pull Pakistan out of the vortex,” he said and added that even today facilitation was being done for the PTI chairman.
