Imran Khan , stated  in Mardan the  other day(13 Dec) that as Nawaz Sharief wanted to become a  civilian dictator  so overthrowing of his  government  by Pervez Musharraf  was a right step.

Imran khan these remarks are  highly shocking .He always  talk about the  upholding of  democracy and  supremacy of the constitution while  on the other hand  he  holds  up the  removal of  people’s  elected government by a  dictatorial action of a military general .

The  said statement of Imran Khan may  also create an impression  among some  circles that if the present elected government  is overthrown by dictatorial means he will not oppose it  A genuine democratic politician can  never prop up  a dictatorial act against democratic set up.

Even  removal  of  the otherwise exceedingly ostracized  and detested  president  Zaradri  through  autocratic  act  will  never be  approved  by true democrats.

As ,in spite of all his taint  image ,he  has been elected  by  elected Parliament. His removal  through authoritarian means  will be  assault  on democracy and constitution. Upholders of such act can never be the  upholders  of democracy and supremacy of constitution

Better  the   well-regarded Imran Khan ,be advised   that  such statements may  lead  to the inference  that upholding of democracy and constitution are not his  pinnacle priorities.
