PM stance of terrorism is vague: Aitzaz

PPP Senator Aitzaz Ahsan Wednesday said Prime Minister’s address to nation the previous day was unnecessary and untimely. “There was no emergency in the country that called for this address,” he said. Aitzaz said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had no clear-cut outlook and vision on the issue of terrorism. Referring to Nandipur Power Project he said the cost of the project has been raised in order to benefit some persons, adding government would have explain the increase in the cost of the project. Aitzaz said the bullet train project announced by PM Nawaz Sharif was only a dream and Pakistan’s economy cannot afford such a project. He said Shahbaz Sharif had in his election speech promised to end loadshedding in six months but PM Nawaz in his address to nation had clearly said that crisis of loadshedding would be overcome in five years. “Shahbaz Sharif should start looking for a new name for him as per his claim,” Aitzaz said. He rejected the holding of Local Government elections in Punjab on non-party basis and termed it as a violation of Charted of Democracy.
