Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Awami National Party (ANP) on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction over the statement made by the PM in the Senate, saying that he did not even utter a single word on the question of violation of country’s sovereignty at the hands of the US.
Speaking on a point of order, PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar said “The PM did not utter a single word on violation of country’s sovereignty by the US forces”. He was also critical of PM’s attitude towards the upper house of the parliament, saying he did not make the same statement in the Senate as he made in the National Assembly on the Abbotabad incident. “It is virtually a contempt…the PM made the speech in a hurry and did not listen the members’ point of view,” he said.
Dar said after the 18th amendment, the PM was accountable to both the senate and the parliament. ANP Senator Zahid Khan was also of the same views as he stated that the PM should have sat in the house to listen the members’ point of view on Abbotabad incident.
