ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb, after the rejection of the amendment bill to the Electoral Reforms Act 2017 by the National Assembly here Tuesday, said that the ‘black law’ of the dictatorial regime has been defeated, and it has been established that only those would head the political parties who would be nominated by the people and the respective political parties.
Talking to the media outside the parliament house, she said that those who were counting the heads had been defeated, and the wandering spirit of the dictatorial era had been put to rest.
The minister said that democracy was gaining strength and there was no room for black laws in a democratic dispensation. Marriyum said that the entire nation deserved congratulations as the law that had been rejected by the parliament had established the fact that from now onwards only the will of the 220 million people of Pakistan would prevail. She said, “Pakistan People’s Party wanted to restore the clauses of the 1973 Constitution, which had been removed by Bhutto, and, by doing so, it had hurt his spirit.”
She said that the elements conspiring against Nawaz Sharif had been defeated, and those who talked of a forward block in the party had been shown the mirror.
She reiterated that whether it was a fight against terrorism or the question of strengthening the parliament, Nawaz Sharif was a strong voice for both the causes. She said that Nawaz Sharif only wanted development in the country, and his opponent must have realized by now that democracy was gaining strength in Pakistan.
Referring to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, she said that instead of upholding the parliamentary traditions, he was used to relying on the finger of the ‘umpire’.
Responding to a question, the minister said that PTI chief attacked the parliament, ridiculed the state institutions, and avoided to appear before the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Earlier, talking to the media men before the assembly session, she said that the PML-N was united as ever under the undisputed leadership of Nawaz Sharif, and those churning out rumours about possible defections from the party should look at the attendance in the parliamentary party meeting.
Democracy? Where in the world? How can there be democracy anywhere in the world when those organised to take those elected by the people, their “Hostage”? What have people seeking rule of democracy done for themselves?
To bring about rule of democracy, people at large need to organise their Peoples’ Union starting from the localities where they live and where everything good or bad happens. If people organise themselves, as above, then no one will dare to take those elected by the people, their “Hostage”. For as long as people do not organise themselves into Peoples’ Union, there will never be democracy.
In this case, no one should accept these laws if these are black.
Laws are black only for corrupt politicians, shame on you Minister of State for Information you undermining state laws to called them BLACK LAWS.
