The newly elected chairman senate, Nayyar Bukhari, proclaimed the Punjab chief minister, Shahbaz Sharif, ‘mentally unstable’, on a visit to Garhi Khuda Bux on Sunday.
Bukhari said that Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N), was under tremendous political pressure and that was the reason behind his statements against President Asif Ali Zardari. “There was nothing in the President’s fifth parliamentary address that could not be ‘understood’,” said Bukhari in rebuttal to the opposition’s comments.
Bukhari said that the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarian has entered into its fifth year, which is also the year of the general elections. He accused the party’s political opponents of not acknowledging the government’s achievements during the last four years.
Paying tributes to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, he said that both the leaders sacrificed their lives for democracy and the constitution. He thanked Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and leaders of other coalition parties for their confidence in him, while assuring that he would perform his duties to the best of his abilities.
Earlier, the chairman senate paid his respects at the mazars of the Bhutto family. The Larkana deputy commissioner, Abdul Aleem Lashari, and Naudero House media coordinator, Ghulam Mustafa Leghari, accompanied Bukhari.
