Raja Riaz says PPP, PML-Q resolutions not on session agenda, will take issue to business advisory committee.
LAHORE:
Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly (PA) Raja Riaz said on Monday that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has unanimously agreed to present a resolution for the formation of a new province in Punjab.
Riaz while speaking to the media before the PA session said that the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) have already submitted their resolutions to the PA Secretariat. However, he mentioned, that the issue has not been included in the session’s agenda.
Riaz said that the PPP will take this issue to the PA business advisory committee and would try to convince the representatives of treasury benches to make their resolution a part of the agenda.
PML-Q's Parliamentary Leader Chaudhry Zahiruddin said that the PA Secretariat has confirmed that the resolution in favour of a new province in Punjab was sent to the law department.
“Law is clear in this [new province] regard but the Punjab government is trying to put the matter under the carpet,” Zahiruddin said.
While talking about the memogate scandal, Riaz said that the PPP would resist any step taken in this regard as the matter is still under judicial investigation.
PPP Parliamentary Leader Zulfiqar Gondal said that they will also discuss the issue of local government system in Punjab during the session.
In this 32nd PA session, 10 bills will be introduced while questions regarding Excise & Taxation Department will be put forward in the house.
