murder case on Monday (today), said Federal Minister for Law Babar Awan while addressing a press conference at the residence of a PPP worker, Farrukh Sohail Gowindi, in Lahore Cantonment area on Sunday evening.
The minister maintained that the constitutional reference would be filed with the court after a permission of the federal cabinet which, he said, would take a decision on this matter in its Monday’s meeting.
Babar hoped that the court would follow the doctrine of limitations of necessity (Nazariya-e-Hudood-e-Zaroorat) in the ZAB case, saying the “doctrine of limitations” had already been changed in the case of loan recovery against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief, Nawaz Sharif.
“The PPP never tried to avoid facing courts. But, it has been victimised politically by its opponents for the last forty years,” he asserted, and exhorted all the parties to lend support to the government for introducing a fair and transparent law on accountability to help end the process of political victimisation.
Referring to the suo motu action initiated by the Sindh High Court against PPP leaders Sharjeel Memon and Taj Haider, the law minister said although the PPP was being criticised by other parties over the case against the stated party leaders, no action was taken against the acts of other political parties of May 12, October 18 and December 27.
“PPP leaders are committed to serving the poor, but I have no idea when does their accountability end,” Babar said in reply to a media query.
He criticised the PML-N-led government in Punjab for cutting budgetary allocation for uplift projects in southern Punjab and dubbed its such act as “injustice”.
