Raza Rabbani stands firm against added power for caretakers
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Senator Raza Rabbani in the joint session of Parliament on Wednesday again opposed giving powers like IMF-style agreements to the caretaker prime minister.
Rabbani said whenever the supervisors made such agreements, they had to suffer the consequences, our Prime Minister had to talk to the MD of the IMF again and again, it was against the status of the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Raza Rabbani said where it happened the IMF went to the political parties and asked if they would support the IMF agreement.
“The IMF asking of the political parties is an interference in the sovereignty of Pakistan,” he said, adding that the powers that were being given to the caretakers could not be given even to the elected Prime Minister.
“The ways of twisting the arms of imperialism have changed, today we are being forced to change the constitutional scheme,” he stated.
Raza Rabbani said it should be told that privatisation come in day-to-day business, how can the supervisor who has to conduct elections in 60 days allow privatisation, we have suffered from the consequences of Moin Qureshi’s agreement with the IMF.
“I am against giving the powers of Section 230 to the caretaker prime minister and the amendment of Section 230 should be withdrawn.
