'Decisions should be made within the country'
The former PM further said that he believes that Pakistan's decisions should be made within the country.
“However, when it comes to basic human rights, voices will naturally rise globally. Institutions like the United Nations exist for this purpose. Enlightened people all over the world raise their voices against violation of basic rights," Khan said.
He stressed that during his "authoritarian era", the breach of personal freedoms, violation of fundamental legal rights, and destruction of institutions have not only disrupted Pakistan's social and political systems but also its legal and economic frameworks.
“The absurd manner in which Khalid Khurshid (former Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister) was sentenced to 34 years in prison demonstrates that there is no rule of law in our country anymore, and a terrible undeclared dictatorship prevails," he said.
“Even in Musharraf’s era, we criticised military interference but never faced such oppression and fascism,” he added.
