Each institution preserves its dignity: Asif
ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khwaja Asif Tuesday said that each institution of the state preserved its dignity and the people associated with it.
Addressing on the floor of the National Assembly, Asif said the parliament is the most stable and powerful decision-making body in democracy.
Like in the past the impression should not be made that the parliament is not a respectable institution, he stressed.
He said that there is a need to change this tradition.
Whenever democracy was overthrown it is our fellow politicians who supported the powerful force to cut the other politicians to size, he lamented.
Asif said the war of words between the government and the opposition should also have some code of conduct.
On Monday in a visit to the Special Service Group (SSG) headquarters at Ghazi Base, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif said the Pakistan Army upholds the sanctity of all institutions and would resolutely preserve its own dignity and institutional pride.
