We have no problem with Mirza

Clearing the mist around former Sindh home minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza’s bumpy relations with the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday told the National Assembly that the party had no issues with Dr Mirza.

“We are from the same party and are a family, if there is any difference of opinion, it is democracy, as agree to disagree is democracy,” the prime minister said. He said it was for the first time in the history of Pakistan that the army and ISI were made accountable to parliament.

He asked the opposition to maintain tolerance as resignations from parliament were not in the interest of anyone, rather it would give a bad name to the country and democratic system. The confusion about whether or not the government had granted the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India still continues with the prime minister telling the House that a final decision was yet to be taken.

“A final decision on giving the MFN status to India is yet to be taken and we will take parliament into confidence on the matter,” Gilani told the National Assembly while responding to the speech of opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

The prime minister said an MoU with another country was referred to the federal cabinet before being signed. The issue of normalising trade with India was also thoroughly debated in the cabinet, which unanimously authorised the Commerce Ministry to negotiate with India for the purpose. “The government won’t do anything against the interests of the country,” he said, adding that he appreciated the statement of Mian Nawaz Sharif on this important issue.

Speaking about why the Pakistani Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani had been summoned to Islamabad, the prime minister said he would have to come to Pakistan and explain his position with regard to the memo written to the US authorities on behalf of President Zardari. At the same time, however, the PM also said everybody was well aware of the credibility of the person who had started the memo controversy. He said the government was not afraid of the issue.

The prime minister said the government had clearly told the US that it would respect the resolution of the All Parties Conference (APC). He said all issues were being taken up through the diplomatic channel and by ensuring respect for sovereignty of the country. “We cannot act like street boys,” he added.

He also invited the opposition to bring about crucial national issues — such as the power crises, reform of public sector organisations,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . and circular debt — before parliament for debate, saying that he would make the entire cabinet sit in the House till solutions were found.

PM Gilani also spoke highly of the opposition’s role and said it had been one of most cooperative oppositions in the history of the country since 103 amendments to the Constitution were unanimously approved. “Only a day before, a bill for women’s empowerment was unanimously passed by the House, which belies the claim that the House is redundant,” the PM said.

He said Pakistan winning a seat at the Security Council was a major achievement of the country’s diplomacy,An Wholesale pet supplies of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby. as were the successes in improving ties with major powers, including Russia.

About the finalisation of the appointment of Election Commission members, he said as per procedures, the Ministry of Law and Justice was looking into the matter and Federal Minister Syed Khurshid Shah had been assigned the responsibility of expediting the process.

About the black marketing of fertilisers, the prime minister said the complaint would be addressed as fertilisers were imported for the benefit of growers, and the government would not tolerate any malpractice.which applies to the first offshore merchant account only,

Maintaining that the government would not support any unconstitutional acts, PM Gilani said whether his prime ministership continued or not, no threat to the democratic and parliamentary system would be tolerated.If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, He also said during the cabinet meeting, he had directed all ministers to remain present during the National Assembly and Senate sessions.

Highlighting the role of the speaker, the prime minister said Dr Fehmida Mirza had never aspired for speakership but it was the party’s leaders, including him, who had convinced her to accept the slot.

Earlier, speaking on the floor of the House, the Leader of the Opposition, Chaudhry Nisar, held the government wholly responsible for not implementing the APC decisions and said the PML-N would not attend any meeting at the PM House in the future. He also threatened the opposition would bring a charge sheet against the government if it continued its policy of not fulfilling its commitments. “Do not force us to bring a charge sheet about what the government, prime minister and his family have been doing,” Nisar said.

Noting that the APC implementation committee was yet to be named, he said the way the APC resolutions had This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their Floor tiles .been desecrated was an example of the government’s insincerity and failure to fulfill its commitments. “All the parties have nominated their members for the committee but the PPP is yet to furnish names,” he said.

On the government’s move to grant the MFN status to India, he regretted that parliament was not taken into confidence on the important issue and also referred to a statement of the foreign minister in which she said the MFN status had been given to India. “This is a House not a rubber stamp,” he said, adding that the House was also not taken into confidence while raising the electricity tariffs.
