ISLAMABAD: Senator Sherry Rehman has said that government should called a special session of the Parliament to express solidarity with our Kashmiri people on Black Day but shockingly this government did not think that it is important to have one.
Parliamentary Leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in the Senate, Sherry Rehman stated, “When they wanted to pass draconian laws in the disguise of FATF, regular joint sessions were called. Then why not for Kashmir? It would have given a strong statement to the world”.
Criticizing the government on FATF, Sherry told that we spent three months working on FATF laws with our experts for the greater good of our country and people. PPP knows how to get it done as we have removed Pakistan from the grey list before also but this government was all about theatrics.
“It is shocking that they are applauding each other despite being on the grey list,” she added.
PPP leader highlighted that ICRG has also recommended Pakistan to be retained on the grey list, given its failure to completely implement the 27-point action plan.
While the government is so busy focusing on jailing opposition politicians that they are not focusing on other serious issues like taking the parliament in confidence and removing Pakistan from the grey list, she expressed.
Addressing the press conference, Senator Sherry Rehman also criticized the government failure in controlling inflation, economic policies, targeting of opposition parties and journalists.
Senator Raza Rabbani, Senator Maula Bux Chandio, Senator Sassui Palijo,Senator Dr Sikandar Mandhro and Senator Rubina Khalid were also present at the press conference. (With input from INP)
