Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan on Tuesday said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led government had “always taken political parties on board” on national issues, and had introduced decisions based on mutual consensus. “The PPP has introduced a culture of tolerance and co-existence in the society,” she said while presiding over a ministry meeting.
She said the unanimous and back-to-back passage of 18th, 19th and 20th Amendments by the parliament would help remove the loopholes and weaknesses in the political system. The government has made the parliament sovereign and supreme and restored the 1973 Constitution in its original form, she said.
The minister said the approval of the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award with consensus had strengthened the federation. She said the government had always kept national interests supreme while formulating foreign policy, adding that it got the Shamsi Airbase vacated from the US after NATO attack at Salala check-post, besides suspending the NATO supply. She said Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had constituted a 14-member parliamentary committee to contact the leadership of various political parties regarding the proposed All Parties Conference (APC) on Balochistan.
The only cuture of tolerance ppp has introduced is the tolerance for corruption. If ppp can make this fat a** a minister and nawaz does not raise hell about it, then it just shows that he is equally involved in this culture. nawaz knows that his ministers are just as incompetent and corrupt as ppp manisters so he figured that if he keeps quiet about it then ppp will keep their mouth shut also when he forms his govt. I still haven't figured out what made firdos qualified for this ministry. Then again I heven't figured out what made zardari and gillani qualified for their positions either. What a shame. Worst part is that people will vote the same crooks back in.
