Appointment of leader of opposition: PPP to defend parliament, democracy

Political instability hurts the nation and the country, says Khokar

ISLAMABAD: Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar has said that the charter of democracy is the strength of democracy. “Rule of law is guaranteed in the existence of a strong parliament. Pakistan Peoples Party will continue to defend parliament and democracy,” Senator Khokar said in a statement issued on Saturday. Government is frightened of opposition and is shying away from appointing Leader of Opposition Shehbaz Sharif as the chairman of Public Accounts Committee in the national assembly. PPP wants the national issues be taken up and resolved in the parliament, which is the representative of the will of the people of Pakistan. Political instability hurts the nation and the country, Senator Khokhar, the spokesman to the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said. He said that tolerance and decency in politics is needed. Every democratic party will have to play its role for the defence of parliament and democracy, Senator Khokhar concluded. DNA
