Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the government has failed to fight Pakistan's case at the Chicago Summit; in fact "we have been humiliated at the summit". He was addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, along with PTI Central Information Secretary, Shafqat Mahmood, PTI Women Wing Punjab President, Saloni Bukhari, ISF Lahore President, Muhammad Usman, Andleeb Abbas and other leaders of the party.
He pointed out that the government failed to present its case to the international community despite the strategic importance of Pakistan in Nato exit from Afghanistan. "It was most unfortunate that fingers are pointed at Pakistan after the country has sacrificed the most in the ongoing War on Terror and humiliation faced at the Chicago Summit is evidence of the same. Threats to Pakistan from the incompetent rulers of the country are significantly more serious than external challenges," he added.
He was of the view that an impression has been developed among the international leaders that our present rulers cannot deliver and hence during the summit no leader showed willingness to hold bilateral talks with President Asif Ali Zardari; even US President Barack Obama avoided a meeting with him.
According to him, the PPP government is governing without any political legitimacy and moral authority. The President has no support of the people and the PM of the country has been convicted. Hence, one cannot expect the international community to take Pakistan's perspective seriously under the present circumstances.
On PM's conviction, he said Gilani has the right to appeal in the contempt case and PTI will decide its future strategy against the government after the verdict on the appeal. Meanwhile, he strongly condemned forged FIRs on PTI and ISF members and added that Punjab has been turned into a police state where political activities by opposition parties are considered crimes.
Qureshi demanded that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif should take immediate action against the criminal elements involved and cancel fake FIRS lodged against PTI and ISF leaders, otherwise the party will not be able to control the emotions of its workers and Punjab government will be responsible for the situation.
