Awan asks Sharif to present himself before SC
Information minister criticises all those who are trying to malign the Pakistan Peoples Party.
LAHORE:
Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan, while criticising all those against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), called on Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to present himself before the Supreme Court.
“The people who have tried to be the champions of democracy, the provincial chief minister is the biggest among them,” Awan said while talking to the media on Saturday.
She also mentioned Roedad Khan, the former political cell in-charge, and requested the Supreme Court to make him a respondent in the Mehrangate scandal.
According to Awan, Khan had pressurised former Mehran bank chief Younis Habib to open fake cases against President Asif Ali Zardari and conspired to add his name in other fabricated cases.
She added that the current situation of Pakistan is because of the fact that institutions try to interfere in matters falling out of their jurisdiction. “All institutions should work within their defined boundaries.”
Boasting about Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) struggle to keep up democracy in the country, Awan stated that the nation will see PPP’s struggles when history is written. “Peoples Party wants to be alive in history, not in the headlines.”
Answering a query regarding the rising poverty in the country, Awan said that PPP’s manifesto is ‘Roti, Kapra aur Makaan’ and it is democracy which will provide the people with these things. “Today the problem is of demand and supply… by the end of this year, we will try our best to also handle the energy crisis.”
