ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in NA Chaudhry Nisar has said statement
given by Admiral Mike Mullen is against independence and sovereignty of
Pakistan.
Ch Nisar said this in his informal chat with media
men here Friday. He demanded that parliament be summoned to take the
nation into confidence on worsening economic situation of the country
and statement given by US admiral Mike Mullen for involving Pakistan
army and ISI in attack on US embassy in Kabul.
The ever worst, incompetent and corrupt government is in place in the country for the first time of its history, he charged.
He
said threats being received by Pakistan since the last few weeks have
not only triggered concern in terms of country’s sovereignty but are
also very detrimental .
US top functionaries used to use soft
language for Pakistan traditionally but now they had descended upon
using hard language. The statement given by Admiral Mike Mullen demands
that rulers should cast off slumber, he held. The matter will not be
resolved by giving explanations or entreating US, he underlined.
He
went on to say that nation had not come out of anguish and torment
caused by Abbottabad incident and the recent threats hurled by US are
matter of grave concern. It was surprising that Admiral Mike Mullen
statement is bereft of any sense and runs counter to the facts, he
held. It is surprising to note that how can a responsible US military
officer give such statement.
US operational steps are expected
and the it is need of hour that rulers should summon parliament session
in the wake of possible US operational step, he said adding the
parliament and nation should be taken into confidence on such sensitive
issues. On the other hand a clear national stance and policy be evolved
in the face of looming threats. This issue will not be resolved through
DG ISI visit to Washington or the explanations of foreign office, he
observed. The need is there that nation be got united and a strong and
coherent stance be adopted, he stressed.
He observed there
could be no more enormous failure of government than it that business
community was begging for peace from army chief in Karachi.
Rulers were not only incompetent from the very first day but also they are oblivious to the situation, he alleged.
Rupee
value had plunged drastically and this horrendous fall had led to
increase our loans by Rs 120 billions, he said adding reports are there
about ending of IMF program . Foreign exchange reserves are depleting.
Rulers have found its solution in increasing the tariff of electricity
and gas, withdrawing the subsidy and increasing the price of petroleum
products, he added.
Government is printing new currency notes
valuing Rs 300 billion, he pointed out. Parliament be taken on board in
the face of worsening economic situation of the country, he demanded.
He
went on to say what the job was to be done by government had been done
by Supreme Court within a few days. There was no feud of land or
property in Karachi. The serious allegations levelled by the leaders of
both the parties against each other should be explained. “ I will
insist that these allegations be put into debate in National Assembly”,
he said.
Responding to a question he said we had imposed foreign war on Pakistan on one telephonic call.
He underscored that national agenda was ready and PML-N could not move ahead this agenda alone.
Movements
don’t run in the prevailing situation when nation was facing worst
economic challenges, he said adding the pressure could be mounted if
political forces were united Government and all institutions should
have consensus and one stance on national issues, he urged.
The
most corrupt and incompetent government has come to power for the first
time during 60 years, he alleged. The role being played by army is some
thing better than nothing But army will have to do some thing more in
national issues, he remarked.
Us ambassador be summoned in foreign office and explanation be sought from him on Mike Mullen statement, he demanded. Online
