Speaker Khan attacked Dr. Arif Alvi’s handling of constitutional concerns, drawing a contrast with the former president’s term and mentioning his actions that resulted in the assembly’s dissolution.

In an interview with the media outside the Punjab Assembly prior to the presidential election, Speaker Khan expressed his confidence in Asif Ali Zardari’s ability to successfully negotiate the political terrain. “Asif Ali Zardari, once elected president, will handle affairs with understanding,” he said.

Thinking back on the previous administration, he denounced Arif Alvi’s term and called it “terrifying” because of purported constitutional infractions and the dissolution of the assembly. He emphasized that he had a duty to rise above party politics in order to save Alvi’s position, but he had not fulfilled it.

“The position of the former president required that he rise above the party, but he did not do so,” remarked the speaker, highlighting the expectation for impartiality and statesmanship in the presidential role.

Expressing optimism about the future under Zardari’s leadership, Khan asserted, “I am sure that the election of Asif Zardari will be a great success for the country and the nation.”

These comments come at a crucial juncture as the nation prepares for the presidential election, with Asif Ali Zardari emerging as a significant contender for the position. Amidst political discourse and speculation, Speaker Malik Ahmad Khan’s remarks shed light on the expectations and aspirations surrounding the upcoming presidency and its potential impact on the political landscape of the country.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.
