NRO a 'non-issue', MNA's should help Govt to address 'real issues': Gilani | Terming the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) as a 'non-issue', Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has urged the members of the National Assembly (MNA) to let the judiciary decide the fate of the controversial ordinance, and help the government address the 'real issues' confronting the people of the country.
Addressing the House a day after the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) led government
decided against tabling the NRO in parliament, Gilani said the issue should be
decided by the court of law. "Let the court decide it. We will accept whatever
the court decides. The House should not be divided on a non-issue. The focus should
be on real issues... we have to show political maturity," The Daily Times quoted
Gilani, as saying. Gilani called on all the lawmakers to assist the government
to fight the real issues facing the country, and urged them to protect what he
termed a 'fragile democracy'. "We must protect our fragile democracy. We will
fulfil the pledges we made under the Charter of Democracy (CoD)," he said. Speaking
on the issue, opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali praised the government for
not tabling the NRO in the House and reiterated the Pakistan Muslaim League-Nawaz's
(PML-N) demand of prosecuting former President General Pervez Musharraf under
high treason charges. |
