ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhary
Nisar Ali Khan Monday said that the government has made a travesty of
civil awards and Mr Zardari seems to believe he’s the rightful owner of
every walk of life in Pakistan.
According to the media reports,
Nisar, without mincing words, said Zardari is bent on abusing his
powers by crossing all the lines. He went on to say that he (Zardari)
has thrown away civil awards unmeritorious only to make his buffs,
party workers, and staff members happy. It was like a loot sale is on,
he added.
This nepotistic awarding of civil medals is a
throwback to Raja Ranjeet Singh’s notorious indulgences of the same
sort back in the day, an upset Nisar said.
He said Pakistan
Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would raise this matter in the very next
National Assembly session so that these prestigious awards, instead of
becoming some kind of a political bribe driven my favoritism, should be
given away meritoriously. Online
