Abid calls for imposition of Article-6 on Imran Khan

FAISALABAD- State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali has come up with a demand to initiate proceedings against Imran Khan and his supporters under Article-6 of the Constitution.
Article-6 pertains to high treason, which reads "Any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or holds in abeyance, or attempts or conspires to abrogate or subvert or suspend or hold in abeyance, the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason."
It also states, "Any person aiding or abetting? or collaborating the acts mentioned in above clause shall likewise be guilty of high treason."
Talking to journalists in Faisalabad, Abid Sher Ali said "the government won't allow foreigners to disrupt peace in the country." He claimed his party will run over all forces obstructing the national agenda. Attempts are being made to stir clash between state institutions, said the minister. Ali stated that record investment was being made in the country.
