Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Khawaja Asif has said that parliament had become inactive and his party members might tender their resignations from assemblies within two months.
Talking to the media men at the Supreme Court building, he said that executive had control over the parliament. He said that Shah Mehmood Qureshi had now admitted that parliament was inactive, which was something he had been saying for the last two years.
Khawaja Asif said that he would comply with the decision of his party’s leadership regarding tendering of resignation from the National Assembly. He also mentioned that both parliament and the executive had failed to resolve the public issues and corruption had increased everywhere. The PML-N leader recommended that the general elections could resolve the people issues.
Separately, MNA Khawaja Saad Rafiq said the party was now in the open to dislodge the government and they had the options of long march, sit-in in front of the Presidency and collective resignations from parliament.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Saad said that they would take every constitutional and democratic step to bring a change in the country but made it clear that all unconstitutional methods would be opposed. He said that in no case the PML-N would accept the supremacy of army and the establishment.
He expressed the confidence that Faisalabad meeting of the PML-N would prove to be the last nail in the coffin of the rulers. The PML-N MNA pointed that there were only 92 members of the party in the National Assembly that were not sufficient to bring a no confidence motion against the prime minister or impeach the president. staff report
