The government and opposition parties in parliament united for the sake of protecting democracy from derailing. In a joint parliamentary session, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazal (JUI-F) all voiced to save the system and to stand by the government.
Senator Aitzaz Ahsan said that the opposition stands with the democracy and constitution. Fazlur Rehman and Mehmood Achakzai said that no ‘conspiracy’ against the house will be allowed to succeed. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that the democracy cannot progress if leaders assume the House as a dynastical shop.
