Spokesman Report

LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership on Thursday opposed the government’s decision of forming a commission to probe whether there was a conspiracy to oust Imran Khan. PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said the party will only accept an independent judicial commission, which would hold in-camera sessions. They added they will not allow foreign

powers to use the country’s basis and corridors for their interests. Former information minister Fawad Chaudhry said the alleged conspiracy started when former prime minister Imran Khan said “Absolutely Not” and ended with his ousting.  He said bringing a government into power with the help of foreign countries is extremely concerning. He asked what can be bigger than the breach of Pakistan’s sovereignty. He said that people will protest in Islamabad over it.

Fawad Chaudhry said that country’s economy is at a standstill, He said the prices are at a three-year high. He said power shortage is the major problem in the country.

He said that the government is spending its final couple of weeks in power.

Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, speaking about the formation of the commission, said an unbiased probe will take place.
