Obama’s statement supports Pakistan’s Kashmir stance: Babar
LAHORE, Nov 8 (APP): Federal Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dr Babar Awan has said that US President Barack Obama’s statement on Kashmir expressed international acceptance of Pakistan’s stand on the issue.Talking to the media on his arrival at the Allama Iqbal International Airport here on Monday, he said that now the Kashmir issue should be resolved according to the UN resolutions for peace in the subcontinent.Talking about an upcoming meeting of the Friends of Pakistan on flood affected areas, he said the support of the international community was a success of the nation.
Commenting on the political situation in the country, he said that “Charter of Pakistan” envisaged by PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif was incomprehensible in the presence of the 1973 constitution which was formed by a consensus of all parties at that time.
He said the PML-N should focus on governance in Punjab where prices of chicken had reached up to Rs 300 per kg, adding that some elements had established a “poultry foundry” in the province.
On the price of sugar, he said crushing could not start in Punjab purposefully even though the federal government had released stocks on time.
He questioned governance in Punjab and asked why the provincial government was not following the directions of the Supreme Court on the sugar price which should be Rs 45 per kg.
He said the chief minister should focus on governance in the province by implementing court observations on sugar and eliminating anti-people elements.
To a question, the minister said chicken would be sold at Rs 1000 per kg and an egg for Rs 100 if governance was not improved.
To a question on the Judicial Council and the 19th amendment, he said that not a single word could be changed in the constitution without an amendment and the government would assist the ruling of the Supreme Court through parliament.
