Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani assured the National Assembly that the
government will maintain peace in Karachi and violence in the city
would not be tolerate, adding that the stability of Karachi is the
stability of the country.
Gilani urged the leadership of all political parties to come up with solution to improve the situation in Karachi.
“Karachi’s stability is interlinked with political and economic
stability of the country, therefore we cannot afford any instability in
Karachi,” Gilani said while speaking in the National Assembly.
He condemned the gang-war incident in Maleer-Landhi that resulted in
the killing of people and sought report from provincial government. He
said that the findings of the report will be presented before the house.
“I directed the chief whip of the party from London to ensure quorum
in the present session so that a debate could be held on this important
issue and get suggestions from the parliamentarians,” he said.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Gilani said that PML-N MNA Anjum Aqeel Khan
will be produced in the National Assembly to represent his
constituency, adding that the House can issue the production order of a
member, he said.
“When I was Speaker, I myself issued production of members on
different occasions. I assure the House that he (Anjum Aqeel Khan) will
be produced in the House. It is his right to represent his
constituency,” Prime Minister Gilani said while speaking in the
National Assembly.
Earlier, PML-N’s Sheikh Aftab said that Mr Aqeel was not produced in
the National Assembly despite the fact that his production order had
been issued.
Deputy Speaker National Assembly Faisal Karim Kundi informed the
House that the production order of Anjum Aqeel was issued on the
evening of July 21.
He asked PPP’s Khursheed Shah and Secretary National Assembly to find out why Mr Aqeel had not been produced in the House. SANA
