I will accept the same form of evidence that was given to the Supreme Court. Nawaz Sharif stated that the Chief of Army Staff wanted to act as a mediator in the dispute, and stated that he hadn't invited General Raheel to play this role. Nawaz must have known who first proposed the idea of Raheel Sharif being mediator in a significant matter like this. Since we know from several other sources that the General thought he had been invited by Nawaz, we know Nawaz is lying here.
The case of the visit from the Chinese delegation is very different, because it is not at all clear that Imran knowingly said something false. He was just misled, it seems, the way many of us were. We can easily explain what he said without having to assume he lied.
Let me explain. A Chinese Foreign Office was asked about cancelling the trip of the Chinese President, and replied that since no trip had been arranged, there was no question of cancellation. That was the report which led myself and many others to think that there was no trip being planned. If Imran based himself on this report, as is quite likely, it is understandable that he claimed what he did, and this is not necessarily a case of deliberate falsehood. Later on, other reports from the Chinese suggested they had cancelled the trip,so there was some confusion in what the Chinese said. (This often happens with translations from another language and culture).
In the case of Nawaz, there is no plausible way to account for the evidence other than to say: Nawaz lied (deliberately said something false when he knew better).
In the case of Imran, we can plausibly explain what happened by saying that he was misled by one report (as many of us were). There is no proof here that Imran deliberately said something false when he knew better.
Proof against Nawaz; no proof against Imran.
How do you know he was misled? one can easily say that he was openly lying. Thats where the part about thinking before making accusations comes to play. He is the leader of the third largest party in terms of seats and second largest party in terms of votes and is in control of a major province of pakistan and he was misled just like that. Either he was lying or was blundering which either way shows his immaturity. Infact frankly i hope he was lying bcz a lying cunning politician is better than a blundering idiot who doesnt know what he is saying.
None of us were misled by that report. Infact many here knew about the visit coming and in lahore even preparations were happening with banners and all.
One can say that he was not misled at all and was pointing fingers as easily as you can say he was misled bcz he was busy with the dharna and had no time to focus on anything else.
If lying is the basis then every open statement of eradicating corruption from KPK is a lie as he failed to do that. hemade check points but his openly announced goals were unreal and you can say thatN also lied as they claimed unreal goals as well of removing lead shedding in 6 months.
Thus you ignore the lies and look beyond that.
Topic at hand.
On such a crucial juncture of the country the court would not have disqualified a PM when stability was the requirement.
