Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Thursday reiterated that the PML-N would never be a part of any ‘unholy nexus’ that was out to curtail the judiciary’s role. In a statement, Nisar said the proposal for introducing amendments in connection with dual nationality and contempt of court bill would be strongly opposed. He said the rulers completely defaced the truth by repeatedly backtracking on issues. “The rulers have now started to focus on their attempts towards passing a controversial legislation after going back on their earlier statements issued in regard to NATO supply,” he added. Nisar said the government intended, through a constitutional amendment, to limit the judiciary’s role, and to protect its own interests by passing a dual nationality bill. “The rulers will not be allowed to use parliament for personal gains,” he said. However, he added that the government did enjoy two-thirds majority in parliament, and “so who are they trying to fool?”
