Babar slams PML-N for criticising govt

Daily Times

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President Babar Awan on Wednesday asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif to tell the nation about the meeting of its party leader Sartaj Aziz with Mansoor Ijaz.

“The nation also wants to know that why PML-N is avoiding the disclosure of the meetings between Nawaz Sharif, Sartaj Aziz and Mansoor Ijaz, and why it remained silent in front of the media,” he said.

Talking to the media at the Supreme Court building, he said that pioneer of military courts (Nawaz Sharif) would soon regret, and would not only cry on his petitions filed in the Supreme Court on memogate but would also announce his disassociation with those applications.

Talking about the return of former president Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf, he said the government would never let the dictator land in any province. “However, if he lands at the Chaklala airport, it would be a golden opportunity for PML-N President Nawaz Sharif to arrest him, as it was in Punjab,” he said.

Babar Awan further said that existing parliament had taken many concrete decisions. “For those who term parliament as a rubber stamp, [I ask] why they did not comment on former president Rafique Tarrar who remained president under Pervez Musharraf for more then 18 months”.

He said that those passing comments against President Asif Ali Zardari took oath as ministers by the same president in 2008.

He said the PPP was the only party that represented the federation, and got mandate in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and the Centre.

He said the government of allied parties was doing its job very successfully.

Babar Awan further said that Nawaz Sharif had already denied his agreement with former president Pervez Musharraf regarding his ‘escaping’ to Saudi Arabia.

He regretted that those who attacked the Supreme Court were now asking the government to respect the judiciary.
