PPP Govt decides against tabling NRO in parliament | The Pakistan People's Party (PPP)-led government has decided against tabling the controversial National Reconciliation Ordianace (NRO), which offers complete immunity to the President and other top leaders from any legal action, in parliament. According to a statement issued by the Presidency following a high level meeting, the ruling
alliance has decided that it would not take the ordinance on the floor of the
House for any discussion. "The meeting endorsed the position taken by Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gilani on the floor of the House on Monday and decided not to take
the NRO to parliament," President's Spokesman Farhatullah Babar said. President
Asif Ali Zardari, while addressing the parliamentarians of the ruling coalition
at a dinner meeting, said he had asked Gilani to continue working towards a political
conciliation over the issue, The Daily Times reports It may be noted that Gilani,
addressing the National assembly earlier, had said that the government is yet
to decide about whether to table the ordinance in parliament or not. "We have
yet to determine what to do. We have not brought it to parliament. We are considering
it and holding consultations with our allies and other friends," Gilani said. |
