LAHORE: Governor Punjab Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said that we will not let the opposition to “lock down” and “Jam” the country. He said, opposition will not resign from parliament, it us only threatening government through such tactics and added that we want to negotiate, but if negotiations fail, we will decide the future course of action.
The Governor Punjab said that we have already experienced 126 days sit-in. When opposition parties will do sit in, they will come to know the bitterness and difficulties of Dharna. I recently met Ch Brothers and they are willing to play their role in negotiations with opposition, he added.
He was addressing the “Sports and Cultural Conference” organized by Insaf Sports and Cultural Wing in Governor House on Saturday. Special Assistant to PM Naeem Ul Haq, Convener Sports and Culture wing Umer Khayam, President Sports and Culture Punjab Mian Javed Ali, Ubaid ur Rehman, Rana Akthar and others also attended the event.
While addressing the conference and later taking to media, Ch Sarwar said that we have made a powerful committee to negotiate with opposition. We need a guarantee from the opposition to hold peaceful demonstration and we will not create hurdles in peaceful protest. We hope that opposition will not show stubbornness. We will take strict action against people who will take law in their hand.
Chaudhry Brothers are willing to talk Fazal ur Rehman and want to play their role for peaceful settlement of the issue, he said and added that we are not afraid of the Maulana’s agitation, when we ask from opposition about their demands their only demand is PM resignation, such unlawful demands cannot be met and govt. will complete its constitutional term.
“If Maulana Fazal Ur Rehman and other opposition parties will try to create chaos and anarchy in country it will badly damage the nation’s consensus and solidarity for Kashmir at this crucial time” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Naeem Ul Haq said that we are not against protests, but Fazal Ur Rehman is saying that he will shut down entire country, which will never be allowed. If they hold peaceful protests anywhere, we have no objection.
He said, “We will fulfill all promises made with people of Pakistan including youth and will ensure eradication of corruption. We will make Pakistan developed and progressive and bring this country out of all crises.”(Additional Input From INP)
