ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has taken political parties into confidence regarding the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections.
The prime minister met party representatives and informed them about the commission at the Parliament House on Tuesday.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on March 20 had agreed to form a judicial commission to probe allegations of 2013 poll rigging.
The prime minister welcomed PTI’s decision to reach an agreement with the government, saying they were already willing to form a commission, as he had written a letter to the Supreme Court on August 13, 2014.
Nawaz added that the government wanted to remove any misgivings among the parties through dialogue, and fully concentrate on resolving the challenges being faced by Pakistan, such as terrorism, energy shortage and putting the country’s economy to the path of progress.
MQM opposes judicial commission
Meanwhile, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has opposed the formation of a judicial commission.
MQM leader Farooq Sattar said that the proposed commission is against the Constitution and violation of Articles 189 and 225 of the Constitution.
Credit goes to PML-N for taking action against criminals in Karachi: PM Nawaz
PM Nawaz said credit for the operation against criminals in Karachi goes to the PMLN-led government.
The premier was meeting PML-N Members of National Assembly (MNAs) from Gujranwala, Sialkot, Narowal, Hafizabad and Gujrat at PM House, where he shed light on the on-going Karachi operation.
“The situation in Karachi is improving with each passing day, the credit for which goes to PML-N government.” the prime minister said. “The PML-N government took the decision to start an operation in Karachi against miscreants and terrorists after taking all parties on board.”
The prime minister further said that his government had inherited the energy problem, but “we are moving towards a solution despite our limited resources.”
Since the past week, the premier has started a consultation process with his party’s MNAs to discuss four important issues and to get their input before taking some final decisions. These issues include appointment of Governor of Punjab, preparations for local government elections in provinces and cantonment, cabinet reshuffle and expansion, and development funds for constituencies.
PM Nawaz earlier held his meetings with party MNAS from South Punjab, Faisalabad division and Sargodha division.
