ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Monday said that filing of presidential reference for interpretation of Article 63 (A) is an opportunity to end horse-trading in the country, ARY NEWS reported.
Taking to Twitter after filing of the reference before the apex court, Fawad Chaudhry said that it was an opportunity for the Supreme Court to bring an end to horse trading, corruption and opportunism once and for all.
“Those who betrayed PTI has not only backstabbed PTI but the entire nation and punishing them is important similar to punishments for traitors of the country,” the information minister said.
آرٹیکل 63-A کے تحت ریفرینس سپریم کورٹ کو یہ موقعہ دے رہا ہے کہ ملک میں جاری ہارس ٹریڈنگ، موقعہ پرستی اور کرپشن کے ڈرامے ہمیشہ کیلئے ختم ہو سکیں ، PTI سے منحرف ارکان نے اپنی جماعت نہیں ملک کی پیٹھ میں خنجر گھونپا انھیں سزا دینا اسی طرح اہم ہے جیسے ملک کے غداروں کو دی جاتی ہے
