ISLAMABAD: PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Wednesday cautioned the PPP leadership against confrontation with the judiciary and the media, saying that it would further destabilise the democratic system.
“We won’t allow to weaken the Federation. We stand by the judiciary and the media and urge the PPP leadership to avoid confrontation with the state institutions for the sake of the democratic set-up,” he said while addressing the participants of the party’s Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting attended by delegates from four provinces, Fata and Gilgit-Baltistan here at the PML House.
Shujaat outlined his party’s four-point 2010 Vision based on the philosophy of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Shujaat said the PPP was in confrontation with the judiciary while the PML-N was disturbing the political atmosphere in the Punjab. Referring to the NRO, Shujaat once again changed his stance, saying that he had disapproved the final draft of the NRO. “When I and Mushahid saw the final draft of the NRO, we opposed it. However, we were told that General Musharraf and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto had reached an agreement. So I said the tenure of the PML-Q government should be excluded from the NRO,” he added.
He said his visit to Sindh was successful and the people had amassed in large numbers to welcome the PML-Q leaders. “We were amazed to see huge crowds in Larkana. We were not expecting such huge crowds in Sindh,” he added.
S M Zafar voiced against the targeted killings in Balochistan, especially Quetta, saying the party should raise this issue at all forums. “This is sheer injustice and we should condemn this negative trend,” he said.
