National Assembly Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Friday that the statement by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani questioning what visa al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden had was a “charge sheet” against the armed forces, observing that it might create problems for the country. Speaking on a pint of order on the floor of the National Assembly, Nisar said such a statement by the chief executive of the country would have dire consequences for defence institutions. “This statement might be exploited by anyone at any international forum or court. I fear this may prove to be problematic in the future,” said Nisar, and asked the prime minister to explain his statement. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said his party would accept a clarification by the prime minister over the sensitive issue and asked him to remove any ambiguity created by his statement. Nisar also suggested that such words of the prime minister should be expunged from the record of the assembly if Gilani clarified his position.
