Pak has dropped to Myanmar, Sudan’s level in rule of law index: Imran

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that there is “no democracy, prosperity or future for the country if there is no rule of law”, media reports said.

“Without rule of law, we will neither have democracy (freedom) or prosperity nor a future,” the deposed Prime Minister said in another condemnation of the ongoing crackdown on his party after the May 9 violence in which government and military installations were attacked by enraged PTI workers protesting against his arrest.

He also pointed out that Pakistan’s position in the rule of law index has declined significantly since the clampdown was launched, the report said.

“Pakistan was placed 129th out of 140 countries in the rule of law index before the crackdown on PTI was unleashed with an assault on our fundamental rights never experienced before by the nation. Today, we have fallen to the levels of Myanmar and Sudan where ‘might is right’ is the law,” Khan said.
