Further criticizing the political system in the country, Fawad said that when Narendra Modi says that he does not understand who to talk to in Pakistan, we have no answer.
وزیر آباد سانحہ کا پرچہ درج نہیں ہو سکا کیونکہ ملک میں Rule of Law نہیں طاقتور گروہ ملک کے سیاسی اور عدالتی نظام کو یرغمال بنائے ہوئے ہے اس لئے جب نریندر مودی پاکستان کیلئے کہتا ہے کہ ہمیں سمجھ نہیں آتی بات کس سے کرنی ہے تو ہمارے پاس کوئ جواب نہیں ہوتا

He noted that the Pakistan Army was a national power. However, the people are now “an organized force under the leadership of Imran Khan”.
He asserted that justice will be sought in the cases of Arshad Sharif, Azam Swati and the Wazirabad attack.
پاکستان میں فوج ایک مسلمہ طاقت ہے لیکن عوام اب عمران خان کی قیادت میں ایک منظم قوت ہیں، اداروں کو عوام کے حقوق ماننا ہوں گے اس معاملے کا حل ہونا ضروری ہے، عوام یہ تسلیم نہیں کرے گی کہ ایک گروہ قانون سے بالاتر رہے،ارشد شریف اعظم سواتی اور وزیر آباد حملہ ان معاملات میں انصاف ہو گا

He said it was a “complete distortion of the law”, adding that it was “unacceptable”. The former education minister demanded the Supreme Court (SC) to take notice of it.
“Our entire legal framework has been turned upside down by this one act,” Mahmood said.
Not registering FIR as per the demand of the complainant is a complete distortion of law and unacceptable. By this one act our entire legal framework has been turned upside down. SC must take notice of this travesty
