Amid calls for civilian supremacy in the Senate, Senator Mushtaq Ahmed of Jamaat-i-Islami on Thursday proposed a dialogue among political parties to achieve this goal.

In his farewell speech days before his retirement on completion of a six-year term, (JI) said that political parties should hold a dialogue and give way to each other to ensure civilian supremacy and push back non-elected forces.

He said they must unite on a single point that the country belongs to the people who have the right to rule it through their chosen representatives.

He also called for the release of all political prisoners, including PTI founding Chairman Imran Khan.
