People will never support unconstitutional demandsISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira on Tuesday said that the people would never support any unconstitutional demand of any individual, as it would be treacherous. “Holding of public processions and debates is a constitutional right, however, no one will be allowed to breach the law,” the information minister said while talking to newsmen after attending the birthday celebration of Pakistan Baitul Maal Chairman Zamurd Khan at the Pakistan Sweet Home. Replying to a question about the announcements by the government’s coalition partners, including Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Pakistan Muslim League-Q, to support Dr Tahirul Qadri’s long march, he said they were still part of the government. However, he said that the Chaudhry brothers had old ties with Dr Qadri and had announced to support him for electoral reforms, which had always been demanded by all the parties. Kaira said around two and a half months were left till the end of the government’s tenure. He said the government and the assemblies would complete their constitutional terms. While welcoming Dr Qadri back in the country, the minister said that he should contest elections according to the constitution, as an independent election commission has already been formed. staff report
