Zartaj Gull hit out at its political rivals PML-N, stating they were mandate-looters.

ISLAMABAD: The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) is seemingly divided over the stated position on the nature of newly-elected National Assembly, as Barrister Gohar said they were not labelling the House as “bogus” while Asad Qaiser insisted that the rival parties had a fake mandate.

Talking to reporters outside the Parliament House on Sunday, Gohar said he was not using the word bogus for the assembly and would not escape the democratic process to leave the field open for the other parties.

Amid the reports that the PTI members – who have joined the assemblies under the banner of SIC (Sunni Ittehad Council) after winning the recently-held polls as independents – are mulling over boycotting the session convened to elect the new prime minister, Gohar said they would have their opposition and parliamentary leader. “We won’t boycott, we will compete against them.”

But in complete contrast, Asad Qaiser, separately, said they were of the view that the rival parties had fake mandate and the person elected as prime minister would not have any legal standing.

“He would be fake prime minister elected on the basis of fake votes,” he claimed and added that they would ponder upon all the available options.

Qaiser said they enjoyed the right to protest and would exercise the same, as he, like other party leaders, questioned the mandate of other.

Similar views were repeated by Ali Muhammad Khan who told reporters inside the Parliament House that the competition was between the “original” [Omar Ayub] and “bogus” [Shehbaz Sharif] mandate for the prime minister’s office.

It is interesting to note that the three SIC leaders – Gohar, Qaiser and Ali – are from the same province – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – and have been elected to the House from Buner, Swabi and Mardan respectively.

PTI mandate stolen on February 8, says Aamir Dogar

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member Malik Aamir Dogar said on Sunday that the country had a quiet revolution on February 8.

Speaking to media at the Parliament House before the assembly session to elect prime minister, he said the PTI mandate was stolen on February 8. The party had won 180 seats as the nation voted for the ideology of the PTI founder, he added.

The PTI nominee for the office of speaker said the ECP has not yet decided on the reserved seats of the PTI. If those seats are counted, the total seats of the PTI becomes 235, Dogar continued.

JAMSHED DASTI

Meanwhile, Jamshed Dasti said they have been defeated squarely on February 8. The [new] government would prove to be a disaster for the country, he added.

An anti-people government would not last long, he said and added that the government formed by those who have been rejected by the people would spell doom for the country.

“We are fighting them inside parliament and outside. We have faced their highhandedness. We will not let Shehbaz Sharif government run for six months,” Dasti stated.

Latif Khosa

Latif Khosa, a PTI leader, has clarified that their party’s protest against rigging and irregularities in the Feb 8 polls result was their constitutional right but it mustn’t be labeled as rowdyism. He asserted that the party was struggling for the prevalence of democracy, rule of law, and public justice.

Ali Muhammad Khan

Ali Muhammad Khan affirmed that today was the day of tough competition between Form-45 and Form-47, the day of real and forged mandate, referring to the election of the coveted seat of the prime minister of Pakistan.

He added that the real victory would be the victory of the people’s mandate and truth whether the rivals won by rigging and malpractices. He stressed that the PTI founder would be victorious and would take the throne of the prime minister of Pakistan one day.

Zartaj Gul

Zartaj Gull hit out at its political rivals PML-N, stating they were mandate-looters. She claimed that the real victor was the PTI founder and Form-45 in the Feb 8 polls.

It must be noted that PTI has nominated Omar Ayub for the office of prime minister and asserted that the party wasn’t awarded with its due seats in National Assembly.

Just before the election of PM of Pakistan today, leaders of political parties are busy in heated exchange of words.
