Federal Information Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Wednesday reacting over Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s sit-in outside the Presidency, has said that its chief Nawaz Sharif and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Ch Nisar Ali Khan have become threats for democracy just like ‘dengue virus’.
Talking to media persons outside the Parliament House, the Information Minister said that PML-N should do its politics inside the Parliament House following the rule of law to bring an in-house change if it wanted. “It should give tough time to the government inside the Parliament as well as do politics of issues while avoid politics of confrontation outside the House,” she said adding that Nawaz was creating new crisis to appease his foreign masters. She further said that PML-N should stage protests while living within the parameters of democracy.
The Information Minister told reporters that PML-N had staged a sit-in against an elected President while its leadership never dared to take such steps against any dictator of military general. “Perhaps Nawaz Sharif did not like an elected president to sit in the presidency,” she said.
The Minister said that Nawaz League was doing this only to conceal its bad governance and mismanagement in Punjab. She said that President of Pakistan was a symbol of the Federation and Chaudhry Nisar was humiliating the Parliament and democracy by resorting to unnecessary criticism
She said that PML-N would have to face same defeat in the general election as that of elections of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. “Mian Nawaz Sharif and his party has always done politics of confrontation having negative behaviour as he is also a creation of same kind of politics,” the minister further informed. She said that the politics of sit-ins would not succeed in Pakistan as the nation was facing many other problems.
The Minister requested to the PML-N leader Mian Nawaz Sharif to do politics of issues while reining in his unnecessary wishes for getting hold of power warning him other wise PPP parliamentarians while sitting in the Punjab Assembly would be bent upon agitation against the sitting government there. She said that PML-N leadership used to opt for migration from the country when the country was faced with any crisis like situation.
She informed that 3000 Mega Watt more electricity was being provided to the national grid on the directions of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and this would provide relief to masses.
The Information Minister said the government was taking all necessary steps to generate electricity from all available resources to end the menace of load shedding.
While responding to a question, the Information Minister said that such sit-ins were not a threat for the incumbent government as far as PPP had majority in the House.
To another question, she said that the decision of the apex court on unrest in Karachi would be implemented adding that the former interior minister Sindh Zulfiqar Mirza has given statement against MQM in its individual capacity not from the platform of the party.
