Such meetings are slap on face of the Parliament and Democracy says CPP Chairman Engineer Jameel.
If meeting of Imran, Qadri and Gen. Raheel is with consent of PM Nawaz, then Vote of No Confidence against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif be moved in Parliament says CPP.
If Gen. Raheel did meeting with Imran and Qadri without consent of PM Nawaz, lawful and legal actions be moved in Parliament against General Raheel.
Parliament is Supreme Body and its supremacy be ensured by the parliamentarians and politicians.
(ATTOCK – August 29, 2014) Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP) strongly condemned the meeting of Chairman PTI Imran Khan and PAT Chairman Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri with Army Chief General Raheel Sharif at Rawalpindi with or without the consent of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
CPP Chairman Engineer Jameel Ahmad Malik termed this meeting as a slap on the face of the Parliament and on Democracy. This meeting has exposed Imran Khan, Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri and Nawaz Sharif if he agreed to such a meeting says the press release issued here today.

@AsimBajwaISPR: #Army Chief General Raheel Sharif’s Meeting with #PTI Chairman #Imran Khan begins at Rawalpindi
@AsimBajwaISPR: #Army Chief will meet #PTI Chairman #Imran Khan and Chairman #PAT #Allama Tahirul Qadri tonight in Islamabad
and subsequent meetings of cousins Imran and Qadri with General Raheel is a severe and clear violation of Articles 5, 6 and 244 of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 which says that it is none of the business of Army to take part in politics and interfere between the politicians. It is for the politicians themselves to settle their demands through peaceful negotiations or any other ways they like.
CPP said that those days have now gone when judiciary, major political parties and majority section of civil society were in favour of Army takeover. Now judiciary, major political parties and majority section of civil society are against military take over. But surprisingly Imran and Qadri met the Army Chief at Rawalpindi late night by passing all norms, morality and ethics of politics.
The meeting of the cousins Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri has clearly exposed them before the whole nation that who was the script writer of Azadi and Revolution March of Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri.
Communist Party is of the strong opinion that the Army should not interfere in the political process as mostly problems which our nation is now facing is due to the self assumed role of Army in politics. Now a time has come where the Army should concentrate on the matters of internal and external security or any other duties as assigned in the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 and let the political parties themselves settle their demands and problems through peaceful negotiations or any other ways they like and Article 245 of the Constitution does not at all allow Chief of Army Staff to have such meetings with Imran and Qadri.
Communist Party demanded from the Parliament to fully probe firstly that who was the script writer of Azadi and Revolution March and secondly Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri met the Army Chief with the consent of Nawaz Sharif and if so the Parliament should immediately move Vote of No Confidence against Nawaz Sharif and thirdly if Nawaz Sharif is not involved than a stern and lawful action be taken against Army Chief General Raheel Sharif accordingly. This was vehemently stated by the CPP in its concluding remarks. From: Press Media of CPP.
