ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Friday said that President Arif Alvi should stay within his constitutional limits and official responsibilities.
On the letter written by President Arif Alvi to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the interior minister reminded the head of state of his constitutional limits and official responsibilities, suggesting him not to get involved in petty politics “at the whims of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan”.
Sanaullah said that the president should take action against PTI chief Imran for terrorism, and write him a letter to return £190 million to Pakistan and face Toshakhana and foreign funding cases in court.
The interior minister said that the Constitution and the law breakers were holding constitutional positions.
On criticism related to the human rights violation by the incumbent government, the interior minister posed some rhetoric questions.
“Where were the human rights when 15 kilos of heroin was planted on political opponents at that time?” Sanaullah asked.
He asked, “Were the opposition leader as well as sisters and daughters political opponents put on death row in accordance with human rights?”
Sanaullah inquired whether it was the requirement of human rights to “crush the bones of journalists”.
He asked whether the petrol bombs and bullets used on the police were in accordance with human rights.
