GHOTKI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan warned on Sunday that his party would march on Islamabad if a law was passed to grant amnesty to “plunderers”. “The nation will not tolerate another National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO),” he said at a public gathering in Ubauro. The PTI chief was referring to former president Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf’s 2007 NRO that had granted amnesty to politicians and bureaucrats accused of corruption. “[Pakistan People’s Party chief] Asif Zadrari and [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief] Nawaz Sharif have already been granted an NRO once but we won’t allow it to happen again,” Imran said. “[Punjab CM] Shehbaz Sharif should stop thinking that he’ll get away through an NRO,” he added. Imran warned Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi that if the National Accountability Bureau law was amended or the judiciary weakened to benefit Sharif or Zardari, his party would take to the streets. The PTI chief’s remarks come in the wake of the government’s plan to put up for a vote a controversial constitutional amendment bill that proposes right to appeal against an order of the Supreme Court passed in suo motu notice during the current session of the National Assembly. The Constitution (24th Amendment) Bill was tabled before the house in November last year. In January, the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Law and Justice passed it with a majority vote and referred it back to the house for a vote. Published in Daily Times, November 6th 2017.
