Pakistan should not be linked to Tehrir Square

FRONTIER POST
Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira has asked the Minhaj-ul-Quran International chief not to link Pakistan to Tehrir Square.Talking to newsmen he said Tehrir Square movement was against a dictator while there is a democratic system if functioning in Pakistan where every voice of the people is being listened to, he added.Calling the army in aid of long march against the government is unconstitutional, condemnable and a dangerous thing. Meanwhile, talking to media after the birthday ceremony of the chairman of Baitul Maal Zamarrud Khan in Islamabad he said that democracy does not abolishes the basic rights of the people. Tahir-ul-Qadri too has the right to stage public gatherings and meetings but the process outlined in the constitution should be followed. Whatever suggestion over any institution Tahirul Qadri wants to offer, he should offer it to the government and it would be implemented as per the constitution and the law, he added. The government too favors electoral reforms and the present political set-up would complete its term, he said adding that if in the past the LNG contract should had be permitted there would be no CNG crisis today.
