Pakistan - Law amended only to make one person party president


Leader of the Opposition in the National AssemblyKhursheed Shah said on Tuesday that a law was amended just to make one person president of a party, in an apparent reference to the newly-introduced Elections Bill 2017, under which Nawaz Sharif got re-elected Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president.
The Pakistan Peoples Party leader was speaking to media in his chambers.
Shah, while criticising the role of the Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, said that an investigation should be launched regarding the role of the two parties in relation to the passing of the bill from the Senate.
Shah said that despite contacting the PTI thrice, it did not suggest the name for the post of chairman of the National Accountability Bureau.
“If they don’t suggest a name, I cannot keep on waiting,” he said.
The opposition leader said that the selection of the chairman NAB will be done before October 8, adding that he would meet Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi today in this regard.
