Political battle erupts on NRO approval by NA body

A new political war has been instigated with the approval of NRO from National Assemblys Standing Committee on Law and Justice. PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal declared NRO as National Robbers Ordinance and said it would be opposed to the maximum. Talking to media in Lahore he said all the prisoners incarcerated for embezzlement should be released if NRO was to be made a law. On the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan vowed to bring the NRO in courts and on roads. My party would take this issue to the court and to the roads countrywide, we are just waiting for the parliaments decision. He said nobody was being able to comprehend politics of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar says that approval of NRO by parliament would be a stigma on the face of democracy. He demanded that the government provide list of NRO beneficiaries to the Standing Committee on Law and Justice. Nisar said he was anxious over forgiving kidnapping and robbery cases under NRO. Talking to media outside the Parliament House, PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar said his party would oppose the bill. On a question he replied that Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman called Zardaris illegitimate actions as legitimate after being served by him.Replying to Chaudhry Nisars statement, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman said Chaudhry Nisar doesnt have manners to talk. Talking to media in Chishtian, he said if Nawaz Sharif was not a beneficiary of NRO, he would have to sit in exile for another 10 years. Whereas, Minister of State for Ports and Shipping, Nabeel Gabol termed National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) a dead horse and said attempts were being made to infuse life into its body. He said a group of conspirators in PML-N wanted to use Nawaz Sharifs shoulder for holding mid-term elections. November is highly vital, as rafts of decisions are expected in the run of this month, he predicted.
