PML-N aborts anti-militants call in NA

[Safriz]

As the PPP-led coalition failed to achieve a house consensus on the resolution which a source said only called for “practical measures” against militants in general terms in reaction to the Oct 9 shooting claimed by Taliban, the move was given up even without the draft being moved or read out before the house was prorogued after a 12-day session.

Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, the leader of opposition in the house, who took the floor twice over the issue, repeatedly accused the government of not implementing most of the previous unanimous parliamentary resolutions and said the new one was being brought as a precursor to a military operation in Waziristan while Swat’s fugitive Taliban leader Maulvi Fazlullah, who is generally considered as the mastermind of the Mingora attack, was living in Afghanistan.

But PPP chief whip and Religious Affairs Minister Khursheed Ahmed Shah rejected the charges, noting that there was no mention of Waziristan in the resolution, and offered the PML-N to make any changes in the draft, or move one of their own.

But the PML-N was in no mood to buy the idea as it appeared getting closer to an anti-operation stance taken by the Defence of Pakistan Council of hard-line rightwing groups and Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf.

And the ruling coalition also was hesitant to move a resolution without a consensus of all parties in parliament, amid reports of apparent dithering even by military commanders after initial expressions of a resolve to act in concert with an international outcry against the attack.
