Rumourgate’ not worth a response: Babar Awan

Senior Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former law minister Babar Awan said on Thursday that nefarious rumour mills were operating against the government which did not merit any discussion or response, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives in Islamabad, Awan said a media-trial of one individual was being done, the example of which could not be found in the country’s history.

The former law minister said there was ‘no other gate in the country except ‘rumourgate’’ and stressed that the government would complete its tenure.

Awan said those talking about the ‘Bangladesh model’ should keep in mind the Constitution’s Article 6 and its sub-clauses in that regard.

The senior leader further said that President Asif Ali Zardari would hold a joint session of the parliament on the recommendation of the national security council.

Awan assured that no collision would occur among the state’s institutions and no compromise would be made with regard to Pakistan’s security.
