In the wake of 18th constitutional amendment, only the parliament has the power to remove Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by following a legal and constitutional way.
Sindh Minster for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Sikander Mendhro told reporters after holding an open public gathering to redress the grievances of Thatta district at Gymkhana Makli in Thatta Monday. To a question, he said the powers to remove prime minister rested with the president before the 18th amendment but now no one could remove the premier by unconstitutional means.
He said the parliament was best option for the resolution of reservations. Dr Mandhro expressed regret and surprised on PTI chairman Imran Khan’s decision to start civil disobedience movement for the fulfilment of his demands. It could be his emotional decision, he added. He said the announcement of civil disobedience would create the negative impact in the provinces.
The minister wondered that Khan’s party had settled provincial government in Khayber Pakhtunkhwa and if the people of KPK would not pay their taxes due to civil disobedience then how the provincial government would function.
He stressed on all political parties to take efforts for the strengthening of democracy in the country and to avoid from the politics of marches.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri would resolve their reservations in a constitutional manner through parliament and the election commission of Pakistan, he added. The minister said the PPP had always supported democracy and its leaders and workers rendered sacrifices for the restoration and continuity of the democratic process in the country.
