Politicians mainly responsible for trespassing Constitution: Asif

ISLAMABAD: PMLN parliamentarian Khawaja Muhammad Asif Monday said politicians were mainly responsible for trespassing the constitutional boundaries creating a political crisis.

“If constitutionally defined boundaries were trespassed in the last 72 years, then politicians were mainly responsible for that because we have been looking to right and left for your regime,” he said, adding, “those who look for you to be in power, then slowly encroach on your territories”.

Taking part in the National Assembly debate on the presidential address to the joint sitting of the Parliament, the PML-N leader said they were politicians who compromised on their constitutional territories by negotiating with the establishment.

“The establishment in our country does not mean the armed forces rather all those powerful in bureaucracy, judiciary or politicians or media make it,” he said.

He admitted that there were a few hundred privileged people, including politicians and not people, who failed the nation.
