ISLAMABAD:
Senior Pakistan Peoples Party leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Thursday criticised Prime Minister Imran Khan's conduct and said that the premier is "running the Parliament with tweets".
Addressing the ongoing National Assembly session, Shah said the beauty of the Parliament lies in the presence of both the leader of the house and the opposition leader.
"Those who are running the Parliament in this manner, also run the country in a similar manner," said Shah, adding that, five months have passed, yet no legislation has been put forth in the Lower House.
Comparison of our government's first five months to this government's five months will reveal everything, said the former opposition leader.
"PM Imran did not come to the previous parliament sessions as he thought it was a fake parliament," added Shah.
"The July elections had 60-70 punctures, is this the reason why the prime minister is not coming to the Parliament and tweeting instead," asked the senior PPP leader.
Reiterating his demand for the prime minister to attend the House, Shah inquired what the incumbent government had done during the past five months apart from raising its voice against corruption.
"We talk about the law and the Constitution, on the other hand, you are busy destroying it," said the PPP leader.
