THERE is no doubt that the protests launched by Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri are constitutional.

What is debatable and alarming is the fact that their demands threaten democracy. It also gives an opportunity to the army to take over.

The PTI’s protest has also caused the nation a loss of Rs8bn in a fortnight.

I would request all our politicians to sort out this political drama and save democracy from derailment.
