Avoid policy of confrontation, Khurshid Shah suggests govt
The Opposition Leader in NA advised against confrontation between the state institutions
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Opposition Leader in the National Assembly (NA) Khurshid Shah said on Tuesday that the government institutions should refrain from confrontation with each other, adding that all institutions should work in their constitutional limits.
Senior PPP leader suggested to hold a joint session of both parliament houses under the current situation. “Don’t adopt the policy of confrontation between government institution,” he advised.
He opined that it is nothing new for an army chief to brief the parliament as General (retd) Raheel Sharif has done the same in his time. Then COAS Sharif had also briefed the parliament, he added. Shah said, “It is the sign of supremacy of the parliament that officials from the armed forces brief lawmakers.”
The Opposition Leader in NA said that he is unaware of what the ex-PM and PML-N president, Nawaz Sharif, considers the movement for justice. He advised against confrontation of the national institutions, saying it will only cause damage to the country.
He reiterated the demand of PPP to hold elections on due time.
Meanwhile, PPP Central Punjab president Qamar Zaman Kaira said that Imran Khan has been demanding early elections on someone else’s directions, persisting that such a demand should not be backed. Talking to a press conference today, Kaira suggested that only the people should decide which party should rule and control their decisions. “We don’t want snap elections. People will decide the government’s decisions through their votes,” he said.
