CM violating constitution: Tasneem

Published May 12, 2012 Updated May 12, 2012 12:08pm

SARGODHA: Minister of State for Water and Power Tasneem Ahmed Qureshi said the Punjab chief minister was violating the constitution by instigating people to protest and leading rallies against the energy crisis.

Addressing a gas supply ceremony at Canal View Town on Saturday, the minister said that by starting politics, the PML-N leadership was conspiring against the federation of Pakistan, adding that if they wanted to launch a long or short march they must quit national and provincial assemblies.

He said the Supreme Court of Pakistan had not disqualified the prime minster of Pakistan from office but left the matter up to parliament and the Election Commission of Pakistan. The prime minister has a right to appeal against the court decision, he added.

The PPP government has closed all backdoor channels to enter the corridors of power and the Sharif brothers should see and wait, he added.
