Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira on Saturday said the PPP did not need the Sharif brothers’ interpretation of the decision of the Supreme Court in the prime minister contempt case.
Talking to reporters after inaugurating 15th conference on Ophthalmology, he said, “We only accept the interpretation of public and the PPP was enjoying full support and mandate of public”.
The information minister said all the political allies had expressed confidence in the prime minister. He advised the Sharif brothers to do politics on real issues being facing the country and demanded they hold local bodies election following the decision of the court.
“The real representatives of public are in parliament and we have majority in parliament,” the minister added.
“Those who are giving the lesson of decency should also adopt decent attitude and give answer to the public regarding the NRO,” said.
To a question about the PML-N talks of long march, he said the Sharif brothers wanted to “occupy parliament, the Prime Minister’s House and the federal capital, but they would fail in their endeavours”.
He said holding political gatherings was the beauty of democracy. However, the PML-N’s gathering in Taxila might be a step to make preparations for local bodies elections which the SC had ordered the provinces to hold.
Kaira said it seemed that the Sharif brothers again wanted to attack the judiciary after 15 years. He said some of those involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto had been arrested and were facing trial in court. The Punjab government was responsible for conducting investigation into the BB murder case because she was assassinated in Rawalpindi, he added.
Kaira said good governance by the Punjab government could be judged from Rs 20 million laptops distribution ceremony on which Rs 30 million were spent.
He said the PML-N was responsible for toppling of democratic governments in the past because of its politics of confrontation. “It not only got its own governments dismissed but those of the PPP as well,” he added.

  1. Well said Mr. Information Minister that you only accept the interpretation of people's court. Sir, it is kind of you to have mentioned the poor of this country, as your government has the authority to take revenge being a democracy, however, the tragedy is that this revenge is being taken from the only country these poor have.
