Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi clarified that purpose of sit-in outside the Parliament is to save the House.
“We are not here to burn the House but to save it,” he told the parliament.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi thanked leader of the opposition and other members for their views.
He said it is an historic moment and all the parliamentarians must play a serious role.
“I know there are few elements who want to put fuel on fire and there is a group as well that wants to resolve all the issues,” he added.
He said the parliament is very dear to him and he considers this building as his political holy site.
“I told PAT protestors that parliament is my political (ka’aba),” he said adding that, “It is our duty to protect the parliament but the question is, what kind of parliament.”
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said he is proud of PTI chief Imran Khan but Benazir Bhutto is behind his political training.
He said there is a perception that there is grand plan or a great script behind the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf protest but PTI never was and never will be part of any great plan that will undermine the democracy and constitution of Pakistan.
He said PTI did not invite any third party. Time is witness that who urged the third party to mediate in political crisis. The request to an institution (army) to resolve political crisis was against the spirit of the Charter of Democracy, he added.
Qureshi said PTI has only demanded transparent invesitgation of rigging in last year s general election.
