Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that time had come to get rid of the PPP government instead of talking about forming alliances with it.
Talking to reporters at his parliament chamber on Friday, Nisar said the statement of PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif was being quoted out of context for specific purposes by the PPP. Nisar said Nawaz had spoken of maintaining good political traditions in his interview and the PPP leaders were appreciating it
He said the PML-N could never think of alliance with the PPP in the coming elections, as its government had taken all important institutions to the brink of disaster in the last five years. “By setting new records of corruption and bad governance, the government has made Pakistan the seventh most corrupt country in the world.” He pointed out that people had been pushed to the wall by the PPP government and they were praying to God to rid them of the present rulers.
The PML-N leader said the party would not enter into an election alliance with a party that violated courts’ decisions, destroyed national institutions and increased the problems for the people manifold. He advised the PPP leaders to give up dreaming about alliance with the PML-N and pay attention to the people, who were desperate for their accountability during elections. To a question, the opposition leader said no one could escape elections on schedule and pointed out the government could not muster the courage to delay them. He pointed out that the election would be held under a caretaker government and independent election commission. “The tenure of the PPP government will expire on March 18, 2013 and there is a clear provision in the constitution about the caretaker government before elections,” he added.
