PESHAWAR
\nAmun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah has fired broadsides at members of treasury and opposition benches over creating \u2018commotion\u2019 and verbal \u2018slugfest\u2019 in yesterday\u2019s joint session of the parliament.
\nIn his several tweets here on Tuesday, Shah said that in yesterday\u2019s joint sitting, the lower house of the parliament became a noisy fish market as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ended its long boycott and participated in the session.
\nSpirit of the parliament has been diminished by frenzy and frisk fight between members of the treasury and opposition benches, he added.
\nHe maintained the disruptive and disrespectful heckling that had happened in yesterday\u2019s joint session of the national Assembly, was bringing the parliament into disrepute.
\nFaiq took a jibe at the politicians and ruling elites for participation in the joint session of the parliament for the sake of personal gains.
\nThe ATP chairman said parliament has been made personal servants wherein only interests of the elite class are being protected.
\nLegislation had never been made for the best interest of the country and its people, he added.
\nIn a time when the country is going through a severe economic and social crisis that politicians were needed to come up with a holistic strategy to overcome it but traditional
\n\u2018Tug of war\u2019 and verbal onslaught on each other was witnessed, which is highly deplorable, Shah remarked.
\nThe party leader continued to say that parliament, law and rules had been made a joke.
\nHe said the role of national institutions has been deliberately made controversial.
\nRulers and politicians have been busy in protection of their vested interests, he added.
\nShah questioned: \u201cHow can we call it a democracy and public service when politicians have confronted each other for personal gains\u201d?
\nNo one is paying heed to miseries of inflation-hit people, he added.
\nShah maintained rulers have completely deviated from their commitments and raised non-serious issues to hide their failure.
\nEveryone wants to run the country and parliament on their own desires, he added.
\nHe said his party will hold strict accountability and assessment of all those who made mockery with parliament, laws, rules and kept deprived people from economic and social justice.
\nFaiq said ATP is carrying out a vigorous campaign for public power and authority across the country.
\nHe claimed that a large number of people have become part of this campaign which is being carried out from Khyber to Karachi and Kashmir to Gilgit Baltistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
