LAHORE: The Vice-President of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf, Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Friday said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), want to build pressure on judges through their policies, DawnNews reported.

During a press conference in Lahore, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the interpretation of the constitution is the responsibility of the judiciary only.

Moreover, he said that former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s statement was tantamount to subversion of the constitution.

He said that the PPP has split in two parts on the issue to write a letter to the Swiss authorities.

PTI Vice-President said that the PPP government has completely failed and the only way to come out from the crisis is elections.
