LAHORE:
President Mamnoon Hussain’s speech at the joint session of parliament was extracted from prime minister’s press releases issued over the past several weeks, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday.
“It was like a speech made by a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz worker,” Qadri said while addressing party workers via video link.
He said it seemed that the president was unaware of the problems faced by the country. “The country is mired in lawlessness and corruption but the president keeps on praising the prime minister,” Qadri said. He said the president did not speak on the issues of load shedding and inflation. He said the president did not advise the government on Kashmir and Myanmar issues.
