Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf President Javed Hashmi has warned that the country can disintegrate if another martial law is imposed.
Speaking at a press conference in his native Multan yesterday, the rebel politician claimed that Imran Khan had told him that martial law would not be imposed but the Supreme Court would dismiss the government.
He said Sheikh Rashid had told a television channel in an interview that army generals would appear before the court and get the decision of government dismissal from the judge.
“There is no such provision in the Constitution which allows the Supreme Court to dismiss the government and announce interim set-up besides issuing directions for new elections within three months,” he said.
He said the country could face rebellion if martial law was imposed. “I would not say that the current political impasse is part of the script; however, some retired generals are in haste,” he announced.
“It’s shocking for me to see Imran distort facts,” he said while asking him to give up any hope that elections would be held after three months. “They will not be held in 30 months,” he said.
