“There is no justification for a judicial commission to probe such allegations. If anyone has documentary evidence should go to the Supreme Court,” said Awan, referring to hearings being conducted by the apex court bench in Karachi about the violence that has plagued the country’s financial capital over the last three months.
Awan acknowledged that the confidence expressed by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement – one of the primary targets of Mirza’s diatribe – in the leadership of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. “The PPP will not allow anyone to propagate his personal agenda through the party’s platform,” she said.
Awan said Zulifqar Mirza’s wife, Fehmida Mirza, would continue to serve as speaker of the National Assembly. On Sunday, Zulfiqar Mirza had implied that his wife might resign her position as well.

She will never...
Being an eastern wife she should resign too. If she does not then Zulfiqar Mirza's whole exercise would prove futile.
Keeping Dr Fahmida Mirza as speaker is a good and wise decision.. Also please investigate the charges levied by Dr Zulfiqar Mirza. These were serious allegations which had some significant implications .
Good decision to keep Dr. Fahmida Mirza as Speaker Naional Assembly. I believe that Dr. Fahmida is very sober/sensible, qualified & mentally/politically mature lady. We should never forget our values for dealing fairly & justicely without any hatred & racist thought/practice.
I sincerely think that Md Fahmida Mirza should continue to work as Speaker, the position won't affect the truth disclosed by Mr. Zulfiqar Mirza. One thing is however very appreciable that boldness of a person cleared so many questions of a common educated person that why UK is taking so much interest in Karachi based groups, and 15 minutes closure of Karachi shows the strength not to Islamabad but to UK, and thousand of Karachites may act as MI-6 sub-agents here and their services can be acquired anytime dealing in London, against Pakistan. London stories tell us that Migrated people are never accept their new land as motherland and they can burn Half London out of this frustration. It is also cleared that those living in Karachi even not sincere with Karachi and indulge in Killing. If a pest in a house become poisonous that they are supposed to be eradicated.
WHY NOT??? These "ALLEGATIONS" must be true.
