The newborn political leadership cannot challenge the government: SAPM

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said issuing the production orders of an assembly members is speaker’s discretion and government has nothing to do with it.

Addressing a presser in federal capital, she said the newborn political leadership cannot challenge the government. She said those putting Zardari into jail are terming him political prisoner now.

SAPM Awan said media should ask them weather Zradari was right at that time or now. She said a group of looters is asking government to explain its 10 months.

She said they will explain it after five years as people have given them mandate for five years.

Criticizing PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, she said Shehbaz’ statement was different than her and she should settle matters within her party before damaging the government.

She said the government, with the support of its allies, will not only get the budget approved from the Parliament, but also successfully achieve all the set targets.
