PNS Mehran Base attack: Nawaz Sharif demands formation of independent commission

ISLAMABAD: Mian Nawaz Sharif postponing his program to express condolence with President Asif Ali Zardari on the demise of his father Hakim Ali Zardari at Nawab Shah due to bad weather has demanded formation of an independent commission for investigation of the terrorist attack on Mehran naval base in Karachi.

Dr Asif secretary to Mian Nawaz Sharif has told Mian Nawaz Sharif will condole with Asif Zardari within a few days and PPP leadership has been informed in this respect.
Talking to media men here at Islamabad airport Thursday Mian Nawaz Sharif had said attack on Mehran base was not less than Abbottabad operation in intensity. An independent and neutral commission should also be constituted to probe into Karachi incident, he demanded.
Government had not shown any sincerity on resolution adopted in joint session of parliament, he regretted. No reply to the letter written by opposition leader in National Assembly had been given by the government so far, he pointed out.
A resolution was passed in joint session of both the houses of parliament on Abbottabad operation but no headway had been made so far on this count, he deplored. Government should respect joint resolution, he stressed. What parliament says be implemented, he added.
“We will have to pursue the path of self accountability rather than extending begging bowl’, he urged.
To a question he said government should constitute commission to inquire into both the incidents. Online
