ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) leader Khursheed Shah on Thursday condemned Prime Minister Imran Khan\u2019s speech that he delivered on Wednesday after protesters took to streets against Supreme Court orders in Asia Bibi case.
\nSpeaking in the National Assembly, the Pakistan Peopel\u2019s Party stalwart said the speech won\u2019t help establish peace.
\nHe also took exception to the PM for not attending the National Assembly session.
\n \u201cI condemn PM\u2019s speech\u201d. From his body language it looked like he is about to come out and fight\u201d. \u201cHe should have been here today,\u201d Shah said. \u201cYou should have come here and talk. You are running from the very Parliament which gives you the powers\u201d.
\nShah said the opposition neither want to attack the government nor seeks a fight.
\n\u201cStreets and roads are blocked and our eyes are closed like pigeon\u201d.
\nThe PPP leader called on the government to sit with the opposition to find a way out of the prevailing situation.
\n\u201cWe should sit and think what is happening to the state. Today the situation is not normal.\u201dWe stand by our institutions and the state.
\nPTI leader Shafqat Mehmood while responding to the criticism, said Khursheed Shah failed to condemn those who have challenged the writ of the government.
\nHe said it was government\u2019s responsibility to implement the Supreme Court orders. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) lawmaker Khawaja Saad Rafique also criticized the government and the prime minister for his yesterday\u2019s speech. He urged the government to find a peaceful solution to the situation and make decisions without any fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
