Former president and Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said that only his party has a political university whose students are even sitting in the government.<\/p>\n
Addressing the National Assembly ahead of no-confidence vote against PM Imran Khan, the PPP co-chairman urged NA Speaker Asad Qaiser to start voting on the no-confidence motion against the prime minister to take country and the assembly out of political uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly PPP has a political university whose students are sitting there
\n(in the government) and they will soon return,\u201d said Zardari.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the floor of NA, Leader of the Opposition in the National
\nAssembly Shehbaz Sharif hailed Thursday as a historic day in the
\ncountry\u2019s history when the Supreme Court rejected the deputy speaker\u2019s
\nruling.<\/p>\n
\u201cSC decision had made Pakistan\u2019s future bright,\u201d he said and urged the
\nspeaker to conduct the session as per the order of the apex court as its
\ndirections were clear.<\/p>\n
Responding to Shehbaz, Asad Qaiser assured the opposition leader that he
\nwould conduct proceedings according to the law and the Constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe foreign conspiracy against PM Imran-led PTI govt should also be
\ndiscussed in today\u2019s NA session,\u201d the speaker said while interrupting
\nthe opposition leader.<\/p>\n
This prompted PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif to tell the speaker that he
\nwould be violating the court\u2019s directives by delaying voting in no-trust
\nmotion. Asad Qaiser again assured that SC\u2019s orders will be followed in
\ntrue letter and spirit.<\/p>\n
After Shehbaz\u2019s speech, Speaker Asad Qaiser handed over the floor to
\nForeign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.<\/p>\n
The foreign minister began his speech by acknowledging that the joint
\nopposition had the right to table a no-trust motion against the prime
\nminister. \u201cDefending no-trust motion against the prime minister is our
\nobligation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Qureshi said the treasury benches intend to fight the no-trust motion in
\na constitutional, political and democratic manner. Qureshi said that
\nPakistan\u2019s history is full of Constitutional violations and on October
\n12, 1999, the Constitution was blatantly violated.<\/p>\n
The foreign minister reiterated that the opposition had been demanding
\nfresh elections for the last four years; and when PM Imran Khan
\nsuggested that people should decide the country\u2019s fate, the opposition
\nstarted staging drama and running away from general elections.<\/p>\n
Qureshi was of the view that the cable was presented before National
\nSecurity Committee (NSC) and the meeting concluded that it was a
\nsensitive matter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
