Imran should avoid hasty anti-govt drive: Khursheed

SUKKUR: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah said on Saturday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan should not make a decision in haste to launch a movement against the government as it would, in the present critical juncture, harm the democratic set-up in the country.

He stressed that government, politicians and institutions should remain on the same page as this was the demand of the time. Talking to newsmen at the airport here on Saturday, he said that the country was facing the menace of terrorism and they had to provide the people with peace and relief. “Conditions are changing internationally, new governments are to emerge in India and Afghanistan and under the circumstances we have to remain united,” he said.

He opposed the agitation planned for May 11, by Imran Khan and Maulana Tahirul Qadri saying some serious issues were currently confronting the nation that demanded unity not confrontation.

Referring to the current dialogue process with the Taliban, he said when the government itself was not aware about it how could the opposition comment on it.
