PML-N tells Zardari it's time to walk the talk | Pakistan Muslim league Nawaz has criticised President Asif Ali Zardari's speech on Benazir Bhutto's second death anniversary, saying that the time had come for him to walk
the talk. "This is the time to perform, the president has already been delivering
speeches for the last two years... The implementation of the CoD will strengthen
state institutions and save the democratic process from derailment," the Daily
Times quoted PML-Nawaz Information Secretary Ahsan Iqbal, a saying. Zardari's
speech has generated mixed reactions among political parties, with many saying
that the stated "threat to the system" was a "figment of his own imagination".
"It is a partisan approach, not a speech of a head of the state. It was a speech
of a man in desperation, confusion and faced with pressure and fear," Pakistan
Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Secretary General Mushahid Hussain as, saying.
He
added that Zardari was trying to portray himself as a victim, and made a failed
attempt to boost the morale of his party workers. Hussain said all institutions
in the country were working smoothly and fears expressed by Zardari were
self-centric.
Iqbal said if Zardari was sensing any danger to democracy, he should come forward
to implement the Charter of Democracy (CoD) in its true spirit. Senator Zahid
Khan of the Awami National Party (ANP) welcomed President Zardari's address,
saying
the president had apprised his party workers about the dangers he thought
threatened
the democratic order in the country. "The president did not ignore the problems
confronting the nation like poverty and unemployment, and mentioned them in his
speech and resolved to solve these problems soon," he said. |
