ISLAMABAD: Expressing their strong concerns and apprehensions,
regarding law and order situation of Karachi and Balochistan, members
N.A have demanded restrictions on the movements of American ambassador.
Addressing the House on Wednesday, Zafar Baig Bhatni was
chagrined over the unrestricted movements of American ambassador in
Balochistan, “ as if he was member of Balochistan Assembly, Governor or
CM”, adding that America seemed to be seeking an embassy location in
the embattled Province, as if contemplating its ‘early independence’.
He
was also critical of the fact that even Karachi crisis, which were
purely a political/democratic matter, elicited comments from GHQ,
solely due to failure of government to resolve the issue democratically
(politically).
He slighted America as number one enemy of
Pakistan, and said that ever since restrictions have been imposed on
entry of Americans in Peshawar, there has never been a single explosion
/suicide attack in the City.
MNA Muhammad Usman Khan also
expressed his deep concerns over Balochistan situation, where an
average of 10 persons were being killed daily, while more than 100 have
been killed during past few months.
He was worried that while
Balochistan was heading towards disaster, the government seemed to be
sleeping over it, and also criticized PML-N fir failing to stage any
walkouts on Balochistan issues, while it could do so in a comparatively
trivial matter like increase in gas prices. PPPP’s Syed Zafar Ali Shah
expressed his strong resentment towards LB government in Sindh, as it
was a symbol of Musharraf rule, and being a total failure had failed to
resolve issues of masses.
He also said that he did not like Rehman Malik to visit Karachi, rather Karachi should be cleared of all weapons.
Another
PPPP MNA, Jamshed Dasti said that resolving Karachi crisis was beyond
the single capabilities of any one political party, and all should act
and behave responsibly, by putting an end to experimenting with
government systems; and also wanted PML-N to stop opposing the creation
of Seraiki province.
Mehboob ullah Jan, and Tahira Aurangzeb
also expressed their concerns over the law and order situation of
Karachi, demanding its immediate rectification. Online
