One of the mainstream political parties in the country, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) central leader Qamar Zaman Kaira called for a fair and impartial judicial trial for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members facing legal issues.
According to the 24News HD TV channel, Kaira addressed a press conference in Mandi Bahauddin on Sunday and emphasized the importance of ensuring a level playing field for all political parties in Pakistan.
He asserted that no party should be coerced or marginalized in the political process, advocating for equal opportunities for everyone to engage in politics.
Kaira expressed concerns about perceived preferential treatment given to Mian Nawaz Sharif, dating back to his departure for London.
The PPP leader highlighted the PPP's stance on seat adjustments and mentioned that his party refrains from making seat adjustments with any other political entity.
However, he raised questions about the transparency of seat adjustments involving other parties such as Q-League, IPP, and MQM.
The PPP leader underscored the party's commitment to relying solely on the support of the people and voiced grievances about the unequal treatment some political parties face.
Kaira insisted that the upcoming elections should proceed as scheduled, citing the clear directives from the Supreme Court.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of political affairs, Kaira called for a fair and impartial trial for PTI members facing legal issues. Additionally, he proposed the inclusion of a bat mark on the ballot paper and urged for a democratic process that allows all eligible parties to participate freely in the elections.
In conclusion, Kaira emphasized the need for a democratic and inclusive electoral system, reiterating the PPP's stance against any attempts to force parties out of the political process.
He said favours were being given to Mian Nawaz Sharif from the time of his departure to London and many people, including his party leaders, complain that they are not getting a level playing field.
