ISLAMABAD:Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders sought the resignation of President Arif Alvi after he admitted not having signed two significant bills pertaining to the army and secrets laws. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief was arrested shortly after the bill was approved and meanwhile, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the party’s senior leader, was detained at his home in the evening, and this morning, reports said Asad Umar had also been detained in connection with the matter.
Faisal Karim Kundi, a spokesman for the PPP, responded by calling the incident ‘unfortunate’ and lamenting the fact that the president apologised “24 hours after it was reported on the media that he did.” “In my opinion, such a person is unfit to hold the office and he is unaware of what is taking place and unaware of his bypassers,” the PPP leader claimed.
Vice President of PPP Sherry Rehman stated in a statement that the revelation casts doubt on Alvi’s capacity to serve as president. Rehman questioned, “Is he trying to say that someone else signed the bills under from under his nose? If so, the president should resign.”
Ishaq Dar, a PML-N leader and former finance minister, called Alvi’s statement “unbelievable” and demanded his resignation in a post on the social media platform X.
