Federal Law Minister Farooq H. Naek Friday warned third power may get benefit if the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) maintains its negative attitude then there would be a threat of derailing of democracy. Talking to media outside the Parliament House Naek said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) would soon table a resolution in the Punjab Assembly for creating Seraiki province with the help of coalition parties. He termed PML-N current style of politics as negative that would be devastating for the country and resolution passed in the National Assembly for forming Seraiki province is as per the aspiration of the people of that region. Answering a query, he said the Supreme Court has not disqualified the Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani so far and opposition should wait for the detail judgment of SC, adding that SC will explain causes behind the conviction of the PM in detail decision and after that PM will file an appeal regarding the contempt of court case. Earlier addressing the NA, Law Minister Farooq H Naek told the House that the opposition’s attitude violated the National Assembly’s code of conduct. Naek warned the PML-N that its “rowdiness would create anarchy in the country and derail democracy”. “Rowdiness is against democratic norms and rules of procedure. It would lead to anarchy and if democracy is derailed, the PML-N would be responsible for it,” he said. The law minister said that the Supreme Court had not disqualified the prime minister. “Even today, Gilani is member of this House and the prime minister,” he added. The minister said the government also wanted to create the Hazara province but the measure required the consensus of the coalition partners. “Once we evolve consensus with the coalition partners, we shall bring a resolution in the House about creating the Hazara province,” he added.
