Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan has said that elected representatives of Parliament support the legitimate government.
“All opposition parties stand united with democracy and the constitution,” Aitzaz Ahsan told a joint parliament session on Tuesday. He said political parties are unconditionally supporting the government on this juncture for the sake of democracy.
He also criticized the government policies, saying that Model town incident and protestors were wrongly handled.
Atizaz said policemen went to Model Town area of Lahore on June 17 to remove few security barriers placed outside Dr Tahirul Qadri’s residence but later the authorities sealed all the roads by placing shipping containers which was an illegal act too.
Unfortunately, the complaints of the mob staging sit-in outside the parliament are true as well. Massive rigging took place in last year’s general election, he added.
Aitzaz Ahsan advised the PML-N government to review its performance and faults.He assured the Prime Minister that there is no danger to his government but his party members should think over past mistakes seriously.
He said PML-N ministers should not use harsh language and use soft tones while making any remarks.
Giving his remarks on the protests, Aitzaz Ahsan said this so called revolution lacks purity and perfection.
He said opposition holds government’s hands in this difficult time. This is beauty of democracy.
