Ridiculing the heads of PML-N and PPP, PTI chief Imran Khan on Saturday said that both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari only had money but no respect, adding that ennobling and honouring anyone was only in the hands of Almighty. Addressing an iftar dinner with party workers at his Zaman Park residence, the PTI chairman noted that the PML-N supremo “only had money but no respect”. “He (Nawaz) cannot come out on streets. He is abused everyday while sitting in the most expensive area of London,” he said. Imran said Zardari and Nawaz would have been “more respectful” if any wealthy person had the authority to “buy admiration” by spending money. “Ennobling and honouring anyone is only in the hands of Almighty.” Meanwhile, British Acting High Commissioner to Pakistan Andrew Dalgleish called on the PTI chief at his residence in Lahore. The British envoy discussed matters related to bilateral relations and mutual interest with him. During the meeting, Imran shared his party's vision about strengthening democracy, rule of law and supremacy of the Constitution. He highlighted the ongoing “human rights violations” in the country and discussed the concerns raised by the international community in this regard. He underscored that the supremacy of rule of law was one of the main political agendas of his party, stressing that democracy was based on the “foundations of human rights”. Imran maintained that PTI believed in strengthening democracy by finding solutions to the public issues through vote. The Constitution of Pakistan decides timelines of free and fair elections in the country but the incumbent rulers are trying to find an escape from polls through gross human rights violations from the right of self-dignity and freedom of expression, he said.
