Islamabad, March 12, 2022 (PPI-OT):The leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party have said that according to article 55 of the constitution of Pakistan, member of the National Assembly has right to exercise the right of vote in his presence and no one, including the Speaker of the National Assembly and Home Minister, could stop the members from coming to the Parliament and we are also well aware of such things. Speaker of National Assembly should refrain from non-parliamentary measures otherwise they will be remembered with the worst references in the history. PPP has strongly condemned the deployment of Rangers in Parliament house.
The paid spokespersons of the prime Minister Imran Khan should take care while talking about ours leadership because now the answer of bricks would be given with stones. This was expressed by PPP lawmakers including central information secretary PPP-P Shazia Atta Marri, Faisal Karim Kundi and Barrister Murtaza Wahab in a joint press conference at Islamabad heron today.
While talking to media Shazia Marri said that according to rule No. 2 of the National Assembly, a member is only an elected member of the National Assembly and sub-clause four of Article 63A makes it clear that a member of the National Assembly would be a member until the Election Commission of Pakistan de-seats him and as per Article 55, a member of the National Assembly shall exercise his right of vote in his presence and no one could stop him to exercise his right of vote.
She added that Speaker of the National Assembly should avoid the non parliamentary measures otherwise they would be remembered with the worst references in the history. She said that dozens of the press conferences are being held daily by the federal ministers of the Prime Minister, but nothing being delivered to the poor people’s. We held long march camping from Karachi to Islamabad peacefully and highlighted the issues of the people.
She said that we are trying to send back homes to the government by adopting democratic way and an insensitive man like Imran Khan has no knowledge of the rising fees of children and the problems of the common people while Imran Khan, whose house is being run by someone else how will he know about inflation and unemployment. If you talk about someone’s family then one should have to have to listen about themselves too and PTI leader Imran Khan raised funds for his party by using the name of Shoukat Khanum Hospital.
PPP leader Faisal Karim Kundi said that it is highly condemnable decision that Sheikh Rashid has decided to deploy Rangers inside and outside the national assembly and parliament lodges. The Chairman of the House and Library is the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and the people of tiger force stormed into parliament lodges in the police dress. We are making it clear to the government today that we will answer bricks with stones and bullets with cannons. He further said that if PTI leaders could hold a public gathering in Islamabad then we will also hold a grand public Jalsa.
He added that what could we teach a person who has become the Prime Minister of the country and cannot read the oath of the Prime Minister. Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that we have strongly condemned the Shaikh Rasheed’s decision regarding the deployment of the Rangers and also condemned the awkward behaviour of the speaker of the National Assembly with the members of opposition parties.
He said that the Speaker of the National Assembly is the custodian of the National Assembly but he is behaving like the speaker of ruling party PTI. Murtaza Wahab uttered that Home Minister Shaikh Rasheed should resign if there is a security breach and Prime Minister Imran Khan is angry with him because he leaked a secret audio tape and he should inform about that audio due to which Imran Khan is even not meeting Sheikh Rashid.
