Rs900m taxes being imposed by bulldozing Parliament: Ahsan

MULTAN: Pakistan Muslim League-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal Saturday categorically said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) betrayed and sabotaged the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) by capturing the opposition leader slot in Senate and inducting itself as the ‘selected’ opposition.

Addressing a joint press conference at the residence of senior PML-N leader Javed Hashmi, he said the PPP did not take the PDM into confidence over Senate opposition leader’s nomination. The betrayal is harmful to the PPP. The PPP got the support of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) in capturing the Senate opposition leader slot. Everyone knows about the creators of BAP, he added.

“Now the PPP has changed its commitments, priorities and made a new alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami, Awami National Party and BAP after betraying the PDM,” he added.

Ahsan said the PPP dejected them and joined hands with BAP, which was very shocking to the whole PDM. If the PPP was so much interested in capturing the Senate opposition leader slot, they would have taken Nawaz Sharif into confidence, he added. “Now the PPP has become a selected opposition,” he added.

He said the entire country was serving the sentence awarded by the incumbent government. People of Multan and south Punjab were also serving their sentences. People of south Punjab were remembering Shahbaz Sharif today. He said the PML-N was ready to support the government to make Bahawalpur and south Punjab provinces as the PML-N had already submitted resolutions in that regard. The PML-N government had given universities to the region, he added.
