Awami National Party (ANP) spokesman Senator Zahid Khan on Tuesday said that by boycotting the resolution in National Assembly to favour strong democratic institutions, Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) had proved that it did not want supremacy of the parliament.
Talking to media at the parliament house, he said the Prime Minister's decision to appear before the apex court was a testimony that the government believed in democratic principles and respect of court. He said solution to prevailing problems lied in continuation of democratic system, and added the PPP led coalition government would complete its mandate of five years. Zahid Khan said all institutions should work within the constitutional limits for furthering democratic system.
Meanwhile, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Haider Abbas Rizvi said MQM had tabled a bill in the National Assembly for creation on new administrative units in the country. He said MQM fully supported indigenous struggle for creation of Saraiki and Hazara province. Haider Abbas said MQM strongly opposed creation of new provinces on linguistic basis.
