ISLAMABAD: Parliamentary Party members of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday discussed ways to oust the PTI-led government and decided to give it a tough time in the parliament.
Presided over by PML-N Vice-President Shahid Khaqan Abbasi they discussed proposed “anti people” legislations the government intends to pass from the parliament on behest of IMF. These include amendments in finance bill and taking State Bank of Pakistan out of finance ministry’s influence. PML-N’s parliamentary party decided to resist these legislations.
Former minister of foreign affairs Khawaja Muhammad Asif, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb, Nisar Ahmed Cheema, Chaudhry Hamid Hameed, Zahra Wadood Fatemi, Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Maiza Hameed, and former member of the National Assembly Shaqila Luqman were part of this huddle.
Meanwhile, following the party’s success in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa local body polls last week, JUI’s President Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who is also the chief of the Pakistan Democratic Movement, vowed to continue struggling along with the PML-N to overthrow the incumbent government.
Fazl thanked PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif for congratulating him over JUI’s success against the ruling party.
JUI has won the most seats in the 2021 LG polls in KP, while PML-N has won two seats according to the unofficial and unverified results received so far.
The JUI leader, in a tweet, said that JUI-F and PML-N will continue to struggle for the complete restoration of democracy, provision of the right to vote to the people, and overthrowing the incumbent government.
“Our joint struggle will continue till the complete restoration of democracy, provision of the right to vote to the people, ousting of this selected government and Pakistan’s return to the way of a better and more sustainable future,” Fazl wrote.
The remark came in reaction to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s tweet where he congratulated Fazl for his party’s success in the first phase of the LG polls.
“[I] present heartily felicitations to Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his comrades on JUI-F’s great victory in the first phase of the recent local body elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” Nawaz Sharif wrote.
