The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) strongly criticised the \u2018VVIP protocol\u2019 given to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif upon his return to Pakistan, alleging that all federal and Punjab government resources were used to manage the return of a \u2018convicted absconder\u2019. However, the party claimed that people would hold the \u2018convicted prisoner\u2019 accountable if no one else would. PTI secretary general Omar Ayub Khan said the convict was being unjustly and unlawfully facilitated in everything. \u201cA convicted prisoner got VVIP protocol and the State Room opened at Islamabad Airport to receive him,\u201d he said, adding that Pakistan\u2019s legal system has been completely destroyed by PML-N. Moonis slams disparity with Imran over biometrics; Hammad claims \u2018disinterested crowds\u2019 began leaving jalsa before main speech ended Commenting on photos of Nawaz providing his biometrics at the airport, the PTI secretary general remarked \u2018one country, two constitutions!\u2019 \u201cThis picture is not only of Nawaz Sharif\u2019s biometrics, but of the funeral of Pakistan\u2019s judicial system. The whole world had seen the coercion and treatment of Imran Khan for the same biometrics,\u201d he maintained. State machinery Commenting on the return of the elder Sharif after his four-year self-imposed exile, PTI senior leader Moonis Elahi said his return had been managed. \u201cNever in the history of Pakistan, a convicted absconder has been welcomed like this,\u201d he said. Apparently, he said, court staff went to the airport to get his biometric attendance done, while in a sharp contrast, another prime minister (Imran Khan) was picked up from court while giving his biometrics for attendance. Mr Elahi claimed the Punjab government had instructed all deputy commissioners to provide transport as well as ensure attendance of gove\u00adrnment employees such as \u2018patwaris\u2019. \u201cKing of Patwaris is coming so all patwaris must attend!!!,\u201d he commented. PTI leaders criticised the PML-N for \u2018using all federal and Punjab government resources to manage the return of a convicted absconder\u2019. They said people of Lahore completely rejected the PML-N and its absconding leader\u2019s homecoming after four years of self-exile, which began with a request for medical treatment in London on a Rs100 affidavit. They alleged that the establishment fully supported the party\u2019s call so that people from across the country reach Punjab and gather at the jalsa venue, Minar-i-Pakistan, in Lahore. The PTI supporters ran two twitter trends against the PML-N supremo and its power show and posted videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
