AHORE: President Arif Alvi has said that, The dialogue is going on to end the deadlock in the political parties. He said that although this is not my constitutional role, normalization of the situation is good for the country.
Dr. Arif Alvi was speaking in a meeting with a group of journalists in Lahore who met him at the Governor House Lahore and asked questions regarding the current conflict.
President Dr Arif Alvi has said that.“I am trying to reduce tensions and bring all political parties to negotiating table to save democracy from derailing and improve situation,”
The president Alvi, who belongs to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said that he was playing his role as supreme commander of the armed forces to bring down the political temperature in the country.
“I don’t take instructions from Imran Khan. I am on friendly terms with him. We share same opinion but I don’t seek his counsel,” the president added.
“I am playing a role of mediator as supreme commander of the armed forces but I am not a broker.”
Speaking about security measures being taken in the federal capital ahead of PTI’s long march to Islamabad, the president said, “Containers were used for trade across the world but in Pakistan they have been given a new use”.
Arif Alvi said all political parties have demanded early elections at some point in time and added that even Supreme Court had discussed the possibility of early polls to end the political deadlock.
Responding to a question about establishment’s role in politics, the president said he cannot rewrite history but can only try to make things better.
The PTI long march resumed on Thursday, a week after the assassination attempt on Imran Khan that had earlier brought the march to a halt.
