Law Minister on Friday urged opposition members to refrain from politicizing parliamentary proceedings and instead prioritize discussions on the hardships of flood-affected people.
\nSpeaking in the National Assembly, he said the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) was actively working with provincial governments to provide rescue and relief to victims.
\nHe regretted that certain questions were being raised merely for political point-scoring without meaningful follow-up. \u201cLeadership changes will ultimately be decided by the people of Pakistan,\u201d he said, calling on the opposition to wait for their turn through the democratic process.
\nThe minister appealed to opposition members to sit with the government and discuss rehabilitation measures for families whose homes had been submerged and whose lives had become increasingly difficult. \u201cYou have come to this House through their votes; therefore, it is our collective duty to ease their hardships,\u201d he added.
\nNational Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, while speaking on the occasion, said it would have been better if opposition members had attended the NDMA briefing. \u201cI am ready to arrange a separate briefing for the opposition if they are willing,\u201d he offered.
\nThe Speaker said that the House must deliberate on crucial issues, including floods and terrorism. Praising the NDMA\u2019s performance, he said the authority provides early warnings and prepares arrangements in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
