ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday warned President Asif Ali of a tit-for-tat response if the Presidency continued to indulge in politics.![Coffee :coffee: :coffee:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cute/coffee.gif)
We reserve the right to give a befitting response if mudslinging on political parties and their leadership continues from the Presidency, said the senior PML-N leader while speaking on a point of order in the National Assembly and later talking to newsmen at the Parliament House.
Chaudhry Nisar harshly criticised the President House in response to President Asif Ali Zardaris comments against the opposition during a meeting with the PPP parliamentarians on Saturday. It was the harshest ever attack launched by the opposition reflecting widening gulf between the PPP and the PML-N.
Chaudhry Nisar said the apprehensions of the opposition that a political personality and head of a party should not become the President of Pakistan have come true. We had suggested that Asif Zardari should instead become the prime minister, he said.
Nisar also hinted at new political alignments inside and outside parliament as a reaction to the policies and failure to implement the Charter of Democracy and the promises made by the PPP leadership. We do not regret our association with PPP but I believe that political history would have been different had Benazir Bhutto been alive, Nisar said while replying to a question.
The leader of the opposition while regretting President Zardaris comments said that mud-slinging could endanger the democratic process in the country. It would have been better for President Zardari not to malign the opposition leaders by making personal attacks on the leadership of PML-N, Chaudhry Nisar said.
The PML-N recalled it was agreed between the leadership of two major political parties in the Charter of Democracy (CoD) that personal attacks would be avoided.
Nisar maintained that the PML-N leadership had never indulged in personal attacks on President Zardari or PPP leadership rather it always concentrated on issues and principles. He criticised President Zardari for saying that the opposition leaders went out of the country after reaching a deal with the dictator and touching his feet. Every body knows and President Zardari should also remember who touched the feet of dictator and remained in hiding in New York for four years and who struck the notorious deal with dictatorship, the PML-N leader said.
Neither we made any deal with the dictator nor did we give safe passage to him, he said.Nisar wondered whether demanding repeal of the 17th Amendment, independent judiciary and implementation of the Charter of Democracy (CoD) could be considered as personal attacks.
He regretted that President Zardari called journalists the biggest terrorists. The contradiction and clarification from the spokesman of the President House came Monday afternoon after the government issued a rebuttal, fearing journalists could stage a walkout during the National Assembly session, he said.
Nisar said these journalists kept President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani alive in politics when they were in jail but now when the same journalists criticise the government, they are called terrorists.
Nisar also strongly criticised the government for not implementing the resolutions passed unanimously by the National Assembly. Did the government implement the resolution seeking end to military operation in the tribal areas and Swat, and did the government take practical steps to call the OIC meeting and dispatch relief goods to the people of Palestine? he asked.He said adopting resolutions alone would not serve the purpose unless practical steps are taken to implement those resolutions.
