PTI Chairman Imran khan Decision

A short while after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan made a significant about-turn on the party's planned 'lockdown' of Islamabad on Nov 2 by calling for a day of 'thanksgiving' instead, politicians began debating who 'won' the tussle between the government and the opposition.


Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz politician Rana Mashood, while speaking to Express TV said, "I think Pakistan won today, not the government or the opposition... Whatever the Supreme Court decides, we will accept it."

He pointed out that countries which had invested in development projects in Pakistan were very worried. "Lots of embassies were closed. It sent a very negative message," he said.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar reiterated this sentinement in a press confernce, saying it is a victory for the country. "Pakistan's victory lies in democracy and the rule of law."
Daughter of the premier, Maryam Nawaz, dubbed it a "hasty retreat".
"Another assault on the country comes to naught. I hope against hope that those beating a hasty retreat will learn from the embarrassment," she added
"Let this be on record that it was the prime minister who requested the honourable Supreme
Court for a commission on April 22, 2016," said Maryam Nawaz.
