Qatar urges Pakistan not to discuss LNG accord in parliament

[Turingsage]

Qatar is correct. Some strategic deals cannot be discussed in public.

Look at the Rafale deal in India. What a mess it has become.

You are being moronic. Defence contracts often have to be kept secret in order that potential enemies may not gain important intelligence. A defence selling country would also want it kept secret because they need to work out deals differently with each customer.
Commercial deals like buying gas are exactly that, commercial. Parliament has every right to scrutinize such contracts, otherwise you do not have democracy and the populace are uninformed about their own gas bills.
Gas is not a strategic secret. Not in any democracy.
Even the rafale deal will face a multi-party scrutiny in committees soon enough

The reason to stop any discussion of such commercial contracts is to hide corruption perpetrated by the seller.

Yet IAF chief was recently giving minute details aircraft by aircraft, how many years we are delayed by. How ironic.

Commercial deals like buying gas are exactly that, commercial. Parliament has every right to scrutinize such contracts, otherwise you do not have democracy and the populace are uninformed about their own gas bills.

Scrutiny is not same as a discussion in the parliament. Discussion in the parliament is equal to mud slinging.

Gas is not a strategic secret. Not in any democracy.

Oil & Gas are strategic resources irrespective of the type government. Have you heard of the term strategic petroleum reserves?

Even the rafale deal will face a multi-party scrutiny in committees soon enough

Good.

The reason to stop any discussion of such commercial contracts is to hide corruption perpetrated by the seller.

That could just be an excuse to extract details by the opponents.

Sorry to hide our former Government corruption not happening it should be fully told in Parliament what was the deal

But Qatar has requested not to make it Public. It is willing to invest more
