MULTAN: Senior Vice President of PML (N) Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has
said that performance of Pak Army and ISI could be criticized but the
matter of memo is as seditious as to talk about disintegrate the
country.
He was addressing a press conference at his residence
on Saturday. He said that it the need of the time that a special session
of parliament should be convened to discuss the issue of memo and its
proceeding may be brought in front of nation instead of keeping it
in-camera. President and Prime Minister should resign and present
themselves for probe. The ambassador could not be made scapegoat alone
as he has only a secondary role in entire saga.
“The matter has
lot of importance for the future of Pakistan. If prompt action not taken
on the matter then the future of the institutions could be
jeopardized”, he added.
Responding a question he said he is
firmly stuck with his previous stance that neither it is the ISI’s job
to operate politics in the country nor they have any right to do so.
When in the past government decided to send ISI Chief to Mumbai, PML (N)
opposed it.
He said that mid term elections can not prevent
senate polls as they would be held at prescribed time. He said that he
has not any personal grudge with Shah Mehmood Qureshi. He should join
PML (N). He said that he would not leave PML (N) , if Qureshi would join
it.
“I am not annoyed with Nawaz Sharif but opposing policies
is my basic right and I would continue to use it.”, Makhdoom Javed
Hashmi added.
Replying a question he said that Imran Khan is
working hard and he respects him. If people are acknowledging his
efforts then leaders should also accept the fact by showing
broadmindedness that he proved himself as an important political player. Online
