PML-N bars all members from meeting armed forces, agencies personnel
He said that the party was fighting the battle for the survival of Pakistan
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Tuesday barred all members from meeting any personnel from the armed forces and its related agencies in a personal or official capacity.
According to a circular issued on Tuesday, PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal said, “If, however, such meeting is necessary in the interest of national security and/ or fulfillment of constitutional responsibilities then it shall be done indiscreetly and with the prior permission of the party Quaid.”
He said that the party was fighting the battle for the survival of Pakistan, adding that our stance is based solely on National interests for constitutional supremacy in the country and remains above political and personal concerns.
Iqbal went on to say that the party leadership is of the firm view that such meetings, even though conducted in good faith, may cause undue controversies. We all know that the contents of such meetings may be selectively leaked in order to serve specific interests and malign the political fraternity.
He said, “While the Quaid notes with great pleasure the overwhelming response from the party cadres and of course the public to his narrative as expressed in his address to the APC, he expects strong and unwavering support from the party leadership at a time when country is passing through a defining democratic crisis.”
